Has your company ever looked into your Microsoft licensing cost per seat lately?

Ever considered having a study done to see what products are actually common across your environment and could be replaced with cost effective alternatives? 

Have you looked beyond the cost of the Microsoft licensing alone and looked into the supporting products like Anti-Virus, Anti Spam ware, management tools, etc... 

Have you performed a productivity study against downtime verses availability at the desktop layer? 

Let SysTMS shed some light on this topic for you.  Windows on average cost you organization $1295.00 per seat, not including X-terminal emulation products which could cost you up to  $495.00 per seat making your cost accelerate up to $1790.00 per seat verses $125.00 per seat for Linux.

NOTE using NEOWARE takes your cost per seat down to $25.00 per seat on average.)

Linux comes complete with an award winning Office suite, Terminal emulation, immune to viruses and spyware, award winning Evolution E-mail and unparalleled availability, flexibility, productivity and security.
