Managing your software with a TCO analysis

Since I am in the technology sector, I wanted to share about this term which many of the IT folks bounce into but are not sure of always. Total cost of ownership (TCO) of a software is essentially related to the costs which you or your organization which holds the software, may encounter while maintaining and using the software. Its very similar to maintaining a vehicle. This helps the managers and customers have a forecast of the spendings which they may need to do in order to keep their business running without any issues just because of the software. Speaking more about TCO, It is very less of a technological concept and more of a management and accounting one which doesn't really excite the developers but excites the management and the finances team. If you would like to learn and understand more about the analysis of performing a Total Cost of Ownership calculation, I would encourage you to look around the web for many resources and not confine yourself to a single source for information.

Cooling and Energy Efficient Technology

I am sure people living in and around Phoenix, Arizona would agree with me when I say that summer is quite hot in this area. I know this because one of my good friends resides in this area and he always spoke about the hot summer that he faces in the months of May and June. So, for this year, I have decided to help him with the need to cool his home with the help of technology and also to ensure that he uses energy efficient systems so that it also contributes to the betterment of the environment and helps to go green. So, me and my friend started to search how technology helps keep one's place cool and at the same time conserves energy. Air conditioning was not the definite answer because there is too much of energy usage in it.

Whilst our search continued, we suddenly bumped upon the concept of geothermal cooling which was quite new to us and so we were quite excited to read about it and make ourselves familiar with it. So here is what we understood. The concept of geothermal air conditioning is where in one can make use of the geothermal energy stored in the earth to convert that geothermal energy into heat or cooling. We were quite excited about this and my friend is now looking forward to adopt this technology for his home and keep his home cool during the summer and also to make use of a geothermal heat pump to keep his home warm during the winter.
