Description of assignment

The Service Contracts Calculation Tool (SCCT) is used to calculate costs for service contracts, including renewals and new contracts. It is designed to ensure accurate cost estimates and fair distribution of costs across different contracts and services.

With the extensions made to the SCCT, there is a growing need for a simpler version during the early bid phases. Since not all required information is available at that stage, it remains important to provide a cost estimation through standard calculations.

The objective is to develop a user-friendly version of the SCCT, or possibly a separate input slide, which retains a standard method for calculating costs while requiring significantly fewer details for input. It should be practical for use during the bid phase by the Sales Engineer, without necessitating assistance from the Service Consultants IT (SCIT) team.
