| Ram Systems can integrate all the services described on this site to establish the lowest long-term cost of ownership (usually the viewpoint of the investor) rather than simply lowest upfront cost (usually the viewpoint of project management). The summation of all costs from project inception to asset disposal must be described in terms of the time value of money. Net present value, a financial term, is the single most important criteria for LCC. NPV takes into account financial impacts considering that money has other alternatives rather than being tied-up in a fixed asset or project. Ram Systems can drive the cost study of alternatives for producing the lowest long-term cost of ownership of assets. We always consider three important issues in addition to the obvious capital cost: Installation and use practices; component life and death; load profiles
