Total value of ownership

Total value of ownership (TVO) or total value of opportunity, is a methodology of measuring and analyzing the business value of IT investments.[1] Gartner Group designed this methodology in 2003.[2]

TVO differs from total cost of ownership (TCO) in that TVO considers the benefits of alternative investments. It is a comparative measurement that evaluates the TCO and any additional benefits, such as the mobility of laptops when compared to desktop computers.
