Tangible Intangible Cost Benefit Sheet - Jose Escanio

The document provides a table analyzing the tangible and intangible costs and benefits of adopting a mobile system versus maintaining a legacy system. Some tangible costs of mobile include initial investments, maintenance, training, and storage, while benefits include student retention, reduced turnover and printing costs. Intangible costs include supporting both systems, reluctance to new technology, and delivery risks, while benefits include student retention and innovation. For legacy, tangible costs are similar but benefits include savings, while intangible costs include limiting learning and retention but benefits include familiarity and low costs. Break-even graphs show mobile requiring more years to offset costs than legacy.
