Yearly Cost Calculator: OpenLab CDS 3.0

Use this ROI calculator to compare the costs of client-server and workstation CDS models over time, based on your lab's specific setup — including instruments, users, and compliance requirements.

1

How many instruments do you have in your lab?

Enter the number for each instrument type below. This helps tailor the comparison to reflect your current lab environment.
2

How many users will need access to these instruments?

Each user contributes to overall system setup requirements, helping to define a realistic comparison scenario. This comparison tool assumes one client installation per user.
3

Would you like to include training in your cost comparison?

One training session for 8 users is our recommendation. Including training helps minimize friction, improve user adoption, and ensure your team gets the most from the system. Accounting for this upfront investment provides a more complete and realistic view of long-term ROI.
4

Does your lab operate in a regulated environment?

CDS deployment options differ depending on whether compliance is required. Selecting this ensures your comparison reflects appropriate, like-for-like solutions for your environment.
5

Will your team require administrator training and setup support?

Administrator training supports system setup, configuration, and compliance management. Include this if your team does not already have the expertise to manage these aspects internally.
