The total cost of ownership is the total cost of a project.  This can be either a hardware, software, or upgrade function.  It specifically states the whole cost of the project.  This stems from the research of the project all the way to supporting the upkeep of the project.  It ensures the best value in regards to ROI (Return On Investment) for any project.  Some figures will need to be addressed and cannot be specifically stated without making assumptions.  Those specific numbers may include initial customer increase, decrease of material, or any other unforeseeable cost.  Some believe that any issues that are assumptions should be omitted from the TCO.  However, it has been my understanding that the TCO can also be misconfigured if certain figures are not used.  One project may look better than another due to its increased cost of investment.  Overall, the requirement is to address the concerns of the TCO and apply it organization as needed.
