“…it is crucial to investigate hardware and software
alternatives during the cost/benefit analysis phase. Are there
other less costly options, such as open-source solutions, that may
support business initiatives and technology requirements just as
well as a Windows 2000 upgrade?”
“Those analyzing the Windows 2000 upgrade route will likely find
two aspects that will significantly complicate the cost/benefit
analysis: applications and training. The investments required and
the availability of applications and training may delay your
Windows 2000 upgrade plans or cause you to take an alternate fork
in the road.”
“I am certain that there will be early adopters of Windows 2000,
as there are with many competing technologies. However, most sites
will need to perform a detailed analysis that includes potential
alternatives to determine if this Windows is a good match for
business initiatives and the bottom line.”
