Solution training cost estimates include end-user training and training for IT and help desk staff. We
estimate costs for hour of training for end users, and two weeks of training for five help desk staff
and one week of training for three system administrators. Average cost for all training is $97.80 per
user. We include 400 hours of system administrator time and 30 hours of other staff members’
time for solution planning and pilot for an average per user cost of $18.00. For setup, we include
102 hours of system administrator time plus outside consulting services for an average per-user
cost of $27.03. We estimate total costs for training, solution planning and pilot, and setup and
migration of $142.83.
