Determining Return On Investment

ROI = Average Benefit Over Three Years / Initial Cost

As IT budgets tighten, getting approval on new projects is getting harder and harder. After years of heavy IT spending with no clear returns, and economic downturns; upper management is starting to demand more concrete justification for every IT dollar spent.

With the increasing stress placed on IT managers to “do less with more”, employees must possess more business savvy to gain the support of upper management on new purchases. Executives need quantifiable measures and metrics to ensure that new initiatives will directly improve the bottom line.

This is where the term ‘return on investment’ (ROI) comes in. It may be a rude awakening for the IT manager who has been given a budget and unlimited discretion on how to use it for years, and then is asked for an ROI analysis or outlay suddenly. This is where North American Systems International comes in. Our staff includes a number of former IT managers who know the ins and outs of analyzing ROI, and can help you get the green light on your next project.
