Controlling the costs associated with corporate computer systems is an ongoing issue with most organizations. It has been well established over the last fifteen years that the initial purchase cost of the equipment is only the beginning of the investment companies will make to enhance user productivity. Maintenance, training, and help desk services constitute a large percentage of the costs involved with total cost of ownership. User State information management has begun to merge as an area where organizations can realize significant savings in their ongoing quest to save on internal costs. System Suitcase ZEN Edition helps to curtail the expenses associated with TCO by leveraging the investment that organizations have made in management tools like ZENworks for Desktops. The following grid is an example of timesavings based on internal testing by Adesso Technologies.

| These figures are calculated with a burdened rate of $50.00 an hour for technical staff. The equipment used for the example is a PIII 500MHz notebook with 256MB RAM and a 10GB HD over a 10MB LAN connection. |
Using the minimum cost savings information above, a typical 500-seat organization could save approximately $43,000.00 the first time they employ System Suitcase in an operating system upgrade or migration, based on a license cost of $14.00 per seat. This results in a 614% return on investment. In addition, the above metrics do not include the cost savings associated with lost productivity by end users or helpdesk staff in the post-migration recovery process. Industry research indicates that this could add an additional 3-8 hours per PC, further increasing the potential return on investment.
