Configure the Total Cost of Ownership of assets

Configure the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of assets by creating rate cards for each task in a Hardware Asset Management workflow.

Rate cards capture costs for a task or on the time consumed on the task.

• Create a task rate card in Hardware Asset Workspace
  Create a task rate card to define the type of task and the method of calculating the associated costs.
• Create a labor rate card in Hardware Asset Workspace
  Create a labor rate card to record the time worked on a task and associate a rate to the task.
• Create a TCO report in Hardware Asset Workspace
  Create your own Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) report to compare the actual or projected TCO of multiple assets or compare the actual or projected asset TCO with the benchmark cost of the hardware model.
