See our Support call cost reduction calculator page.
We’re also developing a more comprehensive spreadsheet to help you measure the value of documentation. Contact us if you would like a copy.

Be good to see a write up of this in more detail, how do I calculate the lifespan of my documentation?
Very handy though, already sent this on to our Support Manager (and from the grumbles across the desk he’s already looked at it

>How do I calculate the lifespan of my documentation?
Simple way: Look at how long of the product it is describing is on sale, or how long the organisation will officially support the product. A more complicated way is to factor in the cost of maintaining documents that have a long “shelf life”.
