MFCOST contains two financial justification tools. The first is a set
of slides which illustrates the cost savings either experienced or
estimated for five mainframe alternative deals. The slides include:
1. IBM 4381 replacement case example - Precision Valve
Manufacturer and distributor
2. IBM 4381 replacement case example - Industrial Manufacturer
Consolidation
3. IBM 4341 Replacement case example - Auto Services Retail
Chain
4. Mainframe Alternative - Corporate MIS Restructuring ( 2
IBM mainframes replaced, several Minis) - The Foxboro Case
5. IBM 3083 Replacement case example - Defense Manufacturer
The second is a financial justification model called FOCUS which was
developed by Tom Stewart of the Finance & Remarketing Division. This
model has been distributed to all Sales Finance Reps. The model allows
you to complete a cost analysis and justification for a Mainframe
Alternative proposal. The model is very comprehensive and requires
detailed information on the target customer installation.
To use the model print the instructions in part 3 of this package.
Next, download the files FOCUS.WK and FOCUS.ALL from part 4 and 5 of
this package. The files run in LOTUS 123. A good first step is to use
Part 1 of the instruc- tions to load the model. After loading the
model, the customer input forms should be printed as a template of the
information needed from the customer to do a complete analysis.
