That assumes that each POC is unique. There are several organizations that have multiple listings so that number is probably much less.<br><br>Aaron<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Apr 2, 2009 at 11:36, William Herrin <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:bill@herrin.us">bill@herrin.us</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Here's a very partial and very rough cost estimate on implementing<br>
this proposal:<br>
<br>
Let's assume it takes me 5 minutes to scan the email, recognize that<br>
its the annual game of tag, find the instructions in the message,<br>
follow the instructions to certify my POC record is still valid and<br>
then get my mind back in the game for what I was working on before the<br>
interruption.<br>
<br>
5 minutes per contact * 223,000 POCs / 60 minutes per hour = 18,600 man-hours.<br>
<br>
Most of your POCs earn between $30 and $70 per hour with a median<br>
around $50. That's just what it costs for someone in North America who<br>
is competent to perform deep technical work of this nature. Time value<br>
to a company is typically 3 times or more what an employee is paid.<br>
So, figure that those typically hours "cost" the organizations $150<br>
each.<br>
<br>
$150 per hour * 18,600 hours per year = $2,800,000 per year.<br>
<br>
