ROCK HILL, South Carolina (PRWEB) July 10, 2017 -- TCO Toolkit, a leading Software as a Service (SaaS) provider of B2B & Public Sector vendor neutral Total Cost of Ownership & Value Calculators, today announced a one hour informational webinar to be hosted by ISM on Wednesday July 12th at 2PM Eastern, 11AM Pacific.

Total Cost of Ownership, which is the sum of initial, operating and disposition costs of an asset or service during its useful life, has been around for many years. Sourcing and Purchasing leaders typically use spreadsheets and "back of the napkin" calculations to support TCO analysis. What is new here is:
1. The TCO Toolkit app. (http://www.tcotoolkit.com) Unlike the current approaches to TCO, attendees will learn an adaptable digital online structured approach to measuring business value and Total Cost of Ownership for their organization. The TCO Toolkit experts will share how related software and approach has been applied by over 200 users to over 1000 TCO case studies, savings millions of dollars at many B2B organizations.
2. New research by Wake Forest Professors Jim Narus & Michelle Steward shows TCO is a key criteria 68% of the time in selection of Strategic Sourcing order winners. (Source: http://www.engagementb2b.com/new)
"ISM is the premier professional resource for purchasing and sourcing professionals. We were excited to launch our TCO Toolkit Beta at ISM Tech earlier this year, and look forward to sharing insights from over ten years of B2B TCO measurement using best practice software tools during on this July 12 Webinar. We now have public sector governments, municipalities, and utilities beta testing the TCO Toolkit too, so folks from those organizations may wish to attend as well. All attendees will learn best practices on how to calculate TCO and Business Value, for products, systems and services". Joe Razum, Co-founder, TCO Toolkit.
