Homepage of the PMTC project

The abbreviation PMTC stands for 'Poor Man's TCO Calculater. TCO usually refers to Total Cost of Ownership. A lot of people and company's say a lot of inpressive things about the TCO of an IT infrastructure and it always boils down to the same: 'every situation is different'. In a way they are right but that does not mean that a good estimation is not possible. That is exactly what this software tries to do, to give a rough estimation of the TCO.

If you would like to try the pmtc simply click on a language version below:

If you are a developer and interested to contribute here is the design:
We use a styles/tco.xsl file with a lot of logic and a data/tco.xml file which is language dependant and also contains a lot of initialization code (since sometimes coutries differ with regard to salaries).
We could use the following skills:

  • Graphic designers for a nice PMTC logo.
  • Translators to translate the xml file we use into your language (it will take you 5 minutes, really).
  • Experienced IT people who would like to have a look at the formulas we use to help improve on those.
You will find more information on the sourceforge webpage, and you can off course browse the CVS files.
