Defining Financial Requirements

Financial restrictions impact how you construct your deployment. Financial requirements tend to be clearly defined from an overall perspective providing a limit or target of the deployment.

Beyond the obvious hardware, software, and maintenance costs, a number of other costs can impact the overall project cost, including:

• Training

• Upgrade of other services and facilities, for example, network bandwidth or routers

• Deployment costs, such as personnel and resources required to prove the deployment concept

• Operational costs, such as personnel to administer the deployed solution

You can avoid financial issues associated with the project by applying sufficient attention and analysis to the many factors associated with the project requirements.
