    This worksheet helps assess the cost-effectiveness of migrating user settings during an operating system upgrade by having users re-enter their settings versus migrating the settings. It involves calculating the cost of users re-entering their settings based on the number of users, average time for reconfiguration, and average hourly wage, and comparing that cost to the estimated costs involved in migrating the settings for the users. A sample calculation is provided that estimates the cost of not migrating settings at $200,000 for 5,000 users versus a $50,000 estimated cost for migrating the settings.

    Benefits of Migrating Settings


    Prepared By Date
    Instructions: Use this worksheet to assess the cost-effectiveness of collecting settings.

    Cost Issue Notes


    1. Perform the following calculations
     Determine the number of users whose user
    state will be migrated.

     Multiply that number by the average time


    that it takes a user to reconfigure his or
    her settings.
     Multiply the result by the users’ average
    hourly wage.

    2. Compare this cost with the costs involved


    in tracing, collecting, and restoring the
    settings.

    Sample Cost Comparison for Migrating vs. Not Migrating User Settings
    User Average Total User
