Actual annual costs are very hard to determine.

(4) Limited to six HR users, additional cost of $1.50 each for paper or resume faxes, but program has a lot of desired features.
(5) Our second choice, full-featured system written in .NET.  Dropped their price $9,960 after the RFP opening.
(6) Hardware costs were higher than their quote, as they were only quoting a server and not other necessary equipment
