Taking
TCO to the Classroom
CoSN launched its "Taking TCO to the Classroom"
project to help school leaders understand the long-term costs
involved in building and operating a network of computers.
That way they will be able to budget adequately to cover all
the associated costs-and build and operate their networks
in the most cost-efficient way to achieve their technology
goals. The Mass Networks TCO Workshop was partially developed
from materials created by CoSN.
