Zebra Technologies breaks down the final steps to consider when choosing the right mobile device for your business are: Total cost of ownership and consumer grade vs. enterprise grade.

Cost probably plays the largest role when determining which device will be purchased for you business, but Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) is much more than the sticker price of the device. You need to consider service and support costs, recurring operational costs, and indirect costs along with the acquisition costs.
