Analysis of the total cost of ownership (TCO) of an IT project/investment for the traditional model and its comparison with the public cloud implementation (IAAS) for Ecuadorian enterprises

Eduardo Xavier Chica Bermudez
Abstract

In Ecuador, the debate has already begun on whether the traditional (on premise) model represents a greater investment in the implementation of IT projects in relation to the public cloud. This study aims to offers an analysis that IT Government administrators should consider when selecting their infrastructure. The Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) model, a cost management analysis tool, is used to calculate, throughout the life cycle, all costs (direct and indirect) associated with development, operation and maintenance of an IT project/investment in the traditional model and its comparison with the public cloud implementation.
