ABSTRACT:
A system to evaluate movement of computer application functions from an existing computer system platform to an alternate computer system platform. The process includes determining the cost of a generic computing unit by dividing the total costs of the existing computer system platform by the total number of application functions. The percentage of the generic unit attributable to various categories is determined, including hardware and software, support and personnel, and facility costs. Yearly percentage cost changes for the existing computer system platform for a selected number of years are applied in each category. Training costs per generic unit for the alternate computer system platform are applied. The conversion costs per generic unit are applied to the generic unit. The costs of each category in the alternate computer system as a percentage of the existing computer system platform costs are applied to the generic unit to produce comparative costs of the alternate environment.
