When planning to build a digital product, one of the top concerns that significantly impacts your investment is the total cost of ownership. Most enterprises calculate this cost by bringing discovery, design, development, and QA to the approval table, but what often gets overlooked is the infrastructure, the engineering capacity, compliance overhead, and product architecture decisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This can lead to the miscalculation of TCO for digital products and make it expensive over time. Therefore, along with considering the cost of different phases of a product development lifecycle, the cost of scaling infrastructure, maintaining the product, and evolving it for innovation also needs to be considered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To determine that cost before even writing a single piece of code, check out this guide to calculating TCO of a digital product. It thoroughly explains how to calculate the TCO of product engineering, where the hidden costs are buried, and which among the build-vs-buy options would be suitable for your product. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
