Goal - achieve cost savings and cost avoidance for IU *

Cost Avoidance (1)    
RAC (C) Overall
$3,628,564
-$5,743,653
Cost Savings (2)    
RAC (C) Overall
$12,540
-$8,428

1.Cost avoidance is the difference: (the cost of licenses provided if purchased at single copy academic prices) – (what we actually paid).

2.Cost savings are dollars that the university was actually spending, that it stopped spending as a result of something we did. The $s that were being spent by departments in Indianapolis for various redundant stat/math licenses fall into this category.
