Value-IT

A new Meta Group study 80% of the managers said their companies generated a positive ROI for intranet apps, with an average annualized return of 38%. Can that be true? How can you justify your portal investment decisions and come up with such convincing evidence?

Much of the technology being deployed today claims to have impact on employee productivity and information efficiency. These kinds of ‘soft benefits’ still fail to instill confidence in senior management. But to not count with them is a mistake: the problem lie not in the benefits but in the way they’ve been counted. The cutting-edge financial techniques and our intangible valuation experience can always come up with a solution for these problems.

But this is not trigonometry, there is always going to be a level of ambiguity. Portal applications are always contextual in nature. The costs, benefits and the business value to be found in portal deployments will vary widely depending on their purpose. Our experience on the field of IT business value creation can help you to identify and quantify the intangible costs and benefits of portal investments and overcome their embedded uncertainties.
