The Total Cost of Ownership analysis provides a sustainable assessment by taking into account the total life cycle costs of a project when analyzing various solutions. In particular, it aims to extend the concept of price in the calculation of tenders to various maintenance, monitoring and other related costs incurred during the possession of the product until it's end of life.
