Here you are looking to break down an option into its individual pieces and assign some sort of cost to it. You will need research into what these different technologies cost in terms of hardware, software, and human capital to implement.

Every option almost always contains pros and cons. Management will decide what the value of each option is, based on the critical factors you are considering and the cost structure above.
