Phased Rollout — System Realisation

Savings scale with the number of systems onboarded. As system scope grows, VME network effects compound value across shared environments.

[1] Labour savings are calculated as the difference between traditional and VME method hours, multiplied by the blended hourly rate and annual frequency.
[2] Storage savings reflect the delta between traditional full-copy test DB storage and VME virtualised storage footprint per year.
[3] Phased rollout savings scale linearly with the fraction of systems onboarded — adjust system count and instance count to model specific tranches.
