Total cost of ownership and return on investment
Better insight for better business decisions
Building a cost-effective video surveillance system is a challenging task. There are many costs to consider, and also a lot of savings and benefits that can be hard to estimate.
Using a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) model can help capture all the costs associated with a video surveillance system over its complete lifecycle. In addition, a TCO is a necessary foundation to correctly estimate the value, or Return on Investment (ROI), of the system.
Already used in many industries as a business tool, TCOs help integrators as well as buyers:
-
how costs are distributed over time
-
the risk of unforeseen costs
-
the value of the system
-
explain the business case during stakeholder discussions
-
project tenders
Maximizing the ROI of your system
In this case study, Axis presents a combined approach to TCO and ROI. The TCO and ROI method has then been applied to real customer cases from city surveillance, retail and hotel industries – demonstrating in one project an ROI of as much as 2700% across the system lifecycle.
Understanding the TCO model
In this report, Axis has compiled a comprehensive TCO model of a large-scale system which includes project management, operation, maintenance and decommissioning costs, plus much more – all visualized with clear graphs.
