Transformation Cost

All of the courses offered through web-based training can be stored on a single server, which can also house the company's e-mail and intranet. This will eliminate the need to maintain the multiple NT servers currently being used. A server with the bandwidth necessary to support all of the proposed and existing technology will cost approximately $200K. A server administrator will also be needed to support server maintenance and course administration. The web-based courses require a yearly contract in which the company will purchase library cards for employees which cost approximately $265 per employee. Any courses that are subsequently added to the company's course offerings then only cost approximately $15, whether web-based or on CD ROM. All employee workstations must have a minimum of: 486DX/33 MHz, Windows 3.x, 2x CD ROM drive, standard VGA card with 1 Mb video RAM, mouse, sufficient hard disk storage for PC-CBT courses, MPC-compliant sound card and a default printer assignment. All of the workstations currently meet these requirements and will not be upgraded.
