Abstract: The digitization process has grown exponentially in the last decade, and does not show any signs of slowing down, as more and more money are invested in automatic processing, in e-government services and e-divestment. In this context, the problem of cost standardization appears for digital application acquisitions performed by the public services or by economic entities that are connected to the states. In the public auctions, especially those that are funded with European money or public money, the price for digital applications exceeds the average rates, and sometimes the developed applications do not meet the expectations or are not able to cope with the data volumes. Thus, there is the need of having a price standardisation for the digitization process, and here is suggested a method to find a solution for this problem. In this paper, a method that takes into consideration economical, architectural, licensing, complexity factors in order to compute a quotation for a product is proposed. This method is a tool that can be useful for the service providers and the beneficiaries and help them understand the implications of their decisions, of the different workflows in terms of final cost.
