- Stakeholders
Quantify
- Measure benefit areas
- Confirm values- Survey- Direct observation- Estimate
- Get benefit buy-in

- Calculate Metrics

The 5 Key factors of an ROI assessment
> Breadth“How many people will the application affect?”
> Repeatability“How many times a day will they use it?”
> Cost“Is this a costly task?”
> Collaboration“Will employees need to collaborate?”
> Knowledge“Can I reuse the information I create?”
Factor 1 - Breadth
Does it impact a lot of people, or only a few?
The greater the breadth of the application, the higher the potential return.
Factor 2 - Repeatability
The greater the repeatability of the application, the higher the potential return.
Will the application be used frequently or infrequently?
Factor 3 - Cost
Is this a costly or relatively inexpensive task?
The greater the cost of the task, or the greater the benefit, the higher the potential return.
Factor 4 - Collaboration
Does this task involve collaboration among groups?
The greater the collaboration component of the task, the higher the potential return.
Factor 5 - Knowledge
Will this task involve management of key information?
The greater the use of knowledge management the higher the potential return.

Toolbox used to measure the value of technology:
> Net Present Value
> Payback Period
> Return on Investment
> IRR
> TCO
Payback Period
PaybackThe time period needed before net savings equal initial cost.
Excellent measure of riskShould be the key measurement!
Savings
Costs
Payback Period
Time
Payback Period
> Serves as an excellent measure of risk and a necessary companion to the ROI metric
> Pros> Provides initial screening and supplemental information to an
ROI analysis> Useful for preliminary risk assessment> Quantifies a project’s deployment flexibility
> Cons> Neglects all net cash flows after the payback period which may
contribute to a positive ROI
Return On Investment
ROIThe average total savings over 3 years divided by the cost.
Nucleus recommends a three year horizon but use a time period consistent with your organization’s standards.
(Year 1, Year 2, Year 3) / 3
Initial CostROI =
Return On Investment
> ROI is the ultimate litmus test; all other metrics should be considered supplemental
> Pros> ROI quantifies all possible costs and benefits> Percentage metrics can be easily compared to the cost
of capital, other projects, or a simple bank CD
> Cons> ROI can only measure internal performance, not how
one company’s investments compare to another’s
Best practices
Selection> Check references> Ask about backup and underlying architecture> Ask how you can get your data back
Deployment> Build a business case> Let the business case drive the deployment> Don’t ignore training and change management> Gauge best opportunities for a pilot (breadth,
repeatability)> Evaluate and evolve
Summary
> Content management as a service delivers ROI with lower cost and risk than traditional ECM.
> You still need a business case to be most successful.
> Gauge the opportunity (breadth and repeatability?).
> Don’t forget indirect benefits like productivity.
> Payback is an indicator of risk and flexibility.> The shorter the payback the greater the flexibility> Buy and discard option
> Take advantage of SAAS flexibility to leverage more value
