About the TCO Model
The TCO Model serves as a simple, transparent exercise for organizations interested in understanding the cost of maintaining a mobile solution. The tool provides a model to budget the adoption and deployment of CommCare over five years, and is based on 10+ years of experience helping hundreds of partners determine their budgets.
The TCO Model helps organizations:
Estimate the total cost of adopting CommCare or other mobile technologies
Explore permutations and plan budgets accordingly
Help groups understand and/or identify the real cost drivers to maintaining a mobile system
Assess how these costs can be shared by governments, external donors, NGOs, or others
