This costing report provides the estimated costs of implementing and maintaining different repository solutions (both SaaS and local open source) for a research data repository service at UCT.
The report is based on quotes and salaries at the time of evaluation (December 2016). Quotes were received by UCT staff and salaries are based on UCT remuneration ranges. The report should therefore not be used to inform the implementation of a repository at any other institution, but is made available for reference only.
