[WEB400] TCO numbers for thick client vs. browser based

[Buck Calabro <Buck.Calabro@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Man is it tough to find a hard number on this one!

Here's the scenario:  Trying to sell an iSeries box big enough to run
WebSphere results in an upgrade of about $100,000.  Our app would be browser
based, displacing a thick client (ASNA VRPG) app.  We believe that moving to
a browser based environment would save money over the thick client but can't
find a single number that would back that up, although there are thousands
of web sites making the same claim.

Anybody got an actual study showing actual costs saved?
