7 “Helping you leverage your investment in Information Builders technology” Therefore, You Must Perform a Cost Benefit Analysis to Justify Investing in Your BI Investment The total “ballpark” projected spend for the implementation of a formal data mart strategy and the deployment of a limited license business intelligence platform (BI & ETL tool combination) and consulting services to deliver a pilot application is $560,000. Total Savings over 3 years $648,000 Total Savings over 5 years$1,080,000 BI Tool License$100,000 ETL Tool LicenseN/A BI Server$50,000 DW Server$130,000 Database License$30,000 Consulting Services for Pilot Application$250,000 Total Initial Spend$560,000 Hours per business unit per month in spreadsheet prep 60 Number of hours per month per year720 Staff Labor Rate (Salary + Benefits)$75/hr Number of business units4 ROI Term3 years Total Savings over 3 years$648,000 Total Savings over 5 years$1,080,000

8 “Helping you leverage your investment in Information Builders technology” The Proof is in the Return  While the purchase is significant, the purchase is a necessary expenditure that must be made in order for the business units to be served with the information required to keep pace with both growth and change in the business.  The difficulty in pulling information from SAP (in this example) and the lack of professional grade tools is erased in one fell swoop with this initial cash outlay.  In terms of hard ROI, a case can be made that simply through the elimination of the manual compilation, verification and distribution of spreadsheets throughout the business units that participated in the Assessment will make a significant contribution to recovering the initial expenditure.  Whether or not the client actually realizes the cost savings in true terms is based on a decision to either reduce staff, or the more likely alternative, the reallocation of that staff to more productive business issues.  It also needs to be mentioned that additional consulting dollars or internal IT dollars will need to be spent in order to develop the subject area data marts for business units beyond Finance.  Still, the savings in just this one example are significant when reviewed over 3 year and 5 year ROI terms.
