"Latest research from IDC, the leading global technology analyst firm, reveals that enterprises adopting thin computing achieve an average Return on Investment of 421% and pay back the cost in less than 11 months once their thin client solution is deployed. Thin computing also releases IT staff from the time-consuming ties of infrastructure support, increasing their productivity by an average 78%. A web-based Wyse/IDC ExpertROI calculator has been created to deliver displayed and printed reports of the ROI benefits that can be expected from a Wyse Thin Computing architecture." "IDC aimed to understand how the adoption of thin computing had affected users in terms of productivity and organisations in terms of cost and IT operation. It found that over half of the investment occurred at the start of the deployment, with customers migrating to thin clients as part of their scheduled upgrade and replacement cycle offsetting the cost by not having to purchase more expensive PCs. In fact, choosing thin clients reduced hardware and software costs by 40%. Thereafter, the benefits grew each year as they migrated more users to the platform, with IT operations costs reduced by 29% as a result of fewer physical desktop support requests."
