Total Cost of Ownership with Windows Mobile Tool Released
"We've actually just made available a tool to help quantify the TCO of both environments. The tool has been built by Alinean, Inc. who are a leading expert in IT Business Value. The Windows Mobile Messaging TCO Tool, an online calculator developed to analyze the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of competing mobile solutions has been developed in partnership with Wipro, the analysis tool is based on research of mobile deployments by 160 customers, and a comparative lab-based study to determine the TCO of the leading mobile platforms for e-mail messaging and collaboration"
When it comes to cost, Windows Mobile always struck me as lower than Blackberry inherently due to the fact that Exchange natively supports Windows Mobile. However, Push email wasn't always a factor and with new blackberries coming out as often as they do, many organizations may be looking to either update their fleet or switch. If you're wondering what the TCO of Windows Mobile would be for your group, this tool that Jason Langridge has posted on may be of some assistance.
