PROJECT RESOURCE
Compare the complete project decision.
Gather the inputs before comparing a local workstation with a remote plan.
Define equivalent work
People and project term
Record total users, simultaneous users, project duration and expected usage hours. Do not compare part-time access with unrestricted full-time capacity.
Local equipment
Use an actual quote or known purchase cost. Include setup, warranty, support and any equipment that can be reused or redeployed.
Endpoint and connectivity
A remote workstation still needs an access device and a suitable connection. Include any incremental equipment or connectivity cost.
Remote proposal
Record the actual quoted configuration, usage, access rules, onboarding, storage, support, additional-use policy and project term.
