The "IT Project ROI and Business Case Toolkit" enables development of comprehensive business cases for IT projects | ||||||||||
It helps organizations to assess, quantify, and communicate the costs, benefits, business value, and ROI of many types of enterprise-scale technology-based initiatives. It also helps to assess the organization’s current (as-is) and expected (to-be) IT spending (TCO) levels and the solution’s impact on a variety of key performance indicators (KPIs). It produces summary business case reports (Word and PowerPoint) that can be edited and presented to decision-makers. The tool estimates the costs required to implement the new capabilities/solution, including hardware, software, IT labor, services, and user labor. It simulates benefits (user productivity, IT TCO savings, business cost savings, revenue growth, and KPI improvements) enabled by the solutions selected. It supports both rapid (30 minute) and highly detailed assessments. The tool uses robust industry best-practice methods and research to assist the organization in assessing the costs and benefits of investing in the IT initiative. However, this tool cannot accurately/credibly estimate costs/benefits without review, validation, and adjustment of key data inputs. These inputs should be customized to each particular organization and scenario. |
||||||||||
This tool was developed by AnalysisPlace for use with the Excel-to-Word Document Automation Add-In: | ||||||||||
https://analysisplace.com/Document-Automation | ||||||||||
You may customize this document for your own organization's use. | Version 5.0 | |||||||||
This workbook contains many common components. When customizing this document, most organization's find they only need a portion of the components contained within and these may need to be substantially customized. | ||||||||||
Workbook Table of Contents | ||||||||||
Worksheet Name | Title | Description | ||||||||
Profile | Organizational Profile | Collects information about: organization size, location, and industry; end user types and labor costs; summary maturity levels; and the initiative to be modeled. This information is used to estimate default values for all costs and benefits throughout the rest of the model. It displays a summary of costs and benefits of the scenario modeled. | ||||||||
Solution | Project/Initiative Descriptions | For Reference Only: Lists key features, capabilities, benefits, and common vendors/products for the 18 sample initiative types included in the model. | ||||||||
Costs | Implementation Costs | Estimates all costs (direct and indirect) needed to implement, fully adopt, and support the solution. Cost categories include: hardware, software, IT labor, and user labor, including one-time and annual on-going costs. | ||||||||
TCO | IT Spending (TCO) | Estimates as-is (current) and to-be (after the project is implemented) IT spending. | ||||||||
Direct Savings | Direct Cost Savings | Estimates non-labor direct IT and business cost savings enabled by the solution. | ||||||||
Productivity | User Productivity Benefits | Estimates user time/labor savings enabled by the solution. First estimates the amount of time users spend conducting common business activities then estimates how much the solution is expected to increase the efficiency of conducting key activities. The time savings is discounted using a "Productivity Conversion Factor", then converted into $ value. | ||||||||
Revenue | Revenue Impact | Estimates how and how much the solution is expected to increase revenue. The benefit is the profit on the incremental revenue. | ||||||||
KPIs | Key Performance Indicator Assessment (Optional) | Assessment of how the solution may impact a variety of business KPIs. In this model, these KPI changes are not converted into financial benefits. | ||||||||
ROI | Financial Analysis | Summary of costs & benefits by type; Cash flow analysis; calculation of ROI, payback period, NPV, and IRR; and graphs | ||||||||
Key Features | ||||||||||
• Supports many types of enterprise-scale technology initiatives. Includes sample cost and benefit data for 18 common initiative types • Comprehensive assessment of initiative costs and benefits • Costs: hardware; software; IT labor, training, and services; and user labor and training. All direct and indirect, one-time and on-going costs needed to implement and support the initiative. • Benefits: IT labor TCO savings, other direct cost savings, user productivity benefits, revenue growth, and non-financial key performance indicators • Calculates annual on-going IT spending (TCO - total cost of ownership), including hardware, software, internal IT personnel, external service providers, and telecommunications • Comprehensive financial analysis. Calculates project cash flow, cost-benefit analysis, ROI, NPV, IRR, and payback period • Supports rapid (30 minute) or detailed assessments. This model was designed to provide either a rapid assessment (by just entering/selecting basic organizational profile and initiative information) or a very detailed assessment by modifying hundreds of detailed inputs. • Provides default/sample values. Default values (labor costs, user type mix, financial information, TCO, benefits, etc.) are provided based on selected industry, geography, organization size and initiative type to enable more rapid assessments. Data/estimate sources are listed. You may overwrite any of the pre-populated defaults. • The workbook contains instructions, descriptions, and references. Results are updated real-time and are displayed graphically throughout the model. Although the model is user-friendly, we recommend users have at least a moderately-advanced understanding of business value concepts to develop a credible business case. |
