Cost Savings (2)

-$48,799

1.Cost avoidance is the difference: (the cost of licenses provided if purchased at single copy academic prices) – (what was acutally paid by the University via site licenses).

2.Cost savings are dollars that the University was actually spending, and stopped spending as a result of something done by the Research and Academic Computing Division.
