When it comes to managing IT resources effectively, every dollar saved counts towards enhancing the overall efficiency of operations. By implementing strategic technology solutions, the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System could potentially unlock significant cost savings that could be reinvested in other essential areas. To provide estimated cost savings for the district, lets break down potential savings into a structured format for clarity.

1. Solix Email Archiving Solution

Estimated Savings

– Storage Costs Assuming a school district handles about 1TB of email data, typical cloud storage costs might be around $0.02/GB per month. For 12 months, this totals approximately $240.- Maintenance Costs Archiving solutions often reduce the need for on-premise hardware and maintenance. Assuming savings of approximately $5,000 annually.- Legal Costs eDiscovery for audits and compliance typically costs $15,000$30,000 per instance. Assuming an average frequency of two instances per year, the district could save approximately $40,000 by having an archiving solution that simplifies and lowers the time required for legal discovery processes.

2. eDiscovery Solutions

Estimated Savings

– Legal costs related to eDiscovery can be extensive, averaging $200 per hour for comprehensive legal support. If cases demand around 100 hours of work, this leads to $20,000 per case. Reducing eDiscovery cases from 3 to 1 per year for the district may save roughly $40,000 annually in legal support.

3. Solix ECS (Enterprise Cloud Storage)

Estimated Savings

– Storage Costs Assuming the district requires an additional 10TB for data retention, the yearly cost of traditional storage could be around $2,400 (at $0.02/GB) vs. less expensive, scalable cloud options.- Backup Solutions Traditional backup solutions could cost $5,000 annually. With Solix ECS, if automated backups and reduced storage needs are realized, estimated savings could be around $4,000.

4. Data Masking

Estimated Savings

– Implementing data masking reduces the risk of data breaches and non-compliance with regulations (like FERPA). By investing in data protection, the district could save approximately $50,000 in potential legal fines and remediation costs, depending on the size of the data leaks.

Total Savings for Data Masking $50,000

5. Common Data Platform (CDP)

Estimated Savings

– Improved data integration can streamline operations significantly. If we consider labor costs, assuming data integration efforts redirected from 2 FTEs (full-time employees) at a cost of $60,000 each annually, then estimated savings from increased efficiency could be around $120,000.

Total Savings for CDP $120,000

6. Solix Application Retirement

Estimated Savings

– By decommissioning outdated applications, ongoing support and licensing fees can be avoided. If the district saves approximately $20,000 per retired application, and if they retire 3 applications, the savings could total about $60,000.
