In-House Development Can Cost You More

The Lantronix solutions calculator tool is designed to allow our customers to estimate the cost of internally developing their product's network connectivity. The calculator accounts for development time and costs; the opportunity cost (missed revenue); and the ongoing maintenance and support associated with the development project.

Instructions

  1. Enter estimates into white input fields for both "low" and "high" scenarios. Enter "0" for fields that do not apply to your scenario. Please use numbers only (0-9), with decimal places if necessary. Commas are OK, but not required.
  2. Click the "Recalculate" button to calculate blue box totals.
  3. The subtotals automatically roll up to the "Bottom Line" scenarios.
  4. The calculator is currency-agnostic. Users can simply input their local currency (without currency symbols).
  5. Not sure what to enter? Show some example values!
  6. Compare with a Lantronix solution - Speak to one of our expert solutions representatives to see
