ROI: Five Components of an Effective Calculation
Overview
With the recent economic slowdown, disastrous accounting scandals, and the looming
threat of a double-dip recession, company capital expenditures are being scrutinized more
closely than ever before. Given the fact that IT purchases comprise the lionÂ’s share of an
organizationÂ’s expenses, CIOs and CTOs are under the gun to justify every significant
expense and demonstrate how the cost will improve the bottom line in the near future.
Even formerly intangible benefits such as customer satisfaction and increased brand
recognition are being quantified. Indeed, Return on Investment (ROI) has become the
new buzzword, the new mantra, the new panacea for what ails corporate America.
Read on to find the critical components of Return on Investment valuations that can lead to
project success, greater budget control, increased management and investor confidence, and
ultimately, a healthier bottom line. This paper examines five key factors that are critical to
successful ROI calculation: people, processes, technology, data quality/data integrity, and
metrics. Underestimate any one of them and the ROI valuation becomes meaningless.
