I need some ROI…but I have no idea where to begin! • Sarah Haase
My personal bias Your SharePoint solution isn’t complete until you’ve measured its effectiveness.
My personal bias ROI is meaningless without context.
Agenda • What is ROI? • What does good ROI look like? • Units of measure • Common methodologies • Building your valuation roadmap
ROI is… • A cool acronym • A method of quantifying benefits reaped • A way to “feel good” about an investment • A way to offset opportunity costs • A method for validating good decisions • An afterthought
Units of measure Quantitative ROI Qualitative ROI • Money • Increased revenue • Eliminated tools • Increased productivity • Lowered overhead per sale • Emotional • Improved employee morale • Elimination of unpopular tasks • Reduced user confusion • Happier customers • Time • Streamlined business processes • Just-in-time (JIT) information • Less rework • Faster time-to-market • Evolution of work • Ability to focus on higher-value tasks • More automation, fewer mistakes • Simplify the “hairball” • Reduce employee turnover
Example: Tool elimination • “Proof of concept” • Speed to Market • Low / No Cost • Leveraged existing platform • Minimal infrastructure cost • Leveraged existing resources • Quick to deploy & modify
Example: Revenue generation • Need • Dotcom movies team needed to approve setup of exclusives and track SKU setup progress • Solution • Moved data online to SharePoint • Built in a workflow approval process • Incorporated online reporting & SKU setup tracking • Benefits • Merchants have visibility to all exclusive SKUs • Dotcom’s approval rights eliminates rework and key misses • No more restrictions on when exclusive SKUs can be submitted for setup • Faster SKU setup leads to increased pre-order revenue • Total savings/revenue generation = $8,817/month and $105,810/year
Units of measure Quantitative ROI Qualitative ROI • Money • Increased revenue • Eliminated tools • Increased productivity • Lowered overhead per sale • Emotional • Improved employee morale • Elimination of unpopular tasks • Reduced user confusion • Happier customers • Time • Streamlined business processes • Just-in-time (JIT) information • Less rework • Faster time-to-market • Evolution of work • Ability to focus on higher-value tasks • More automation, fewer mistakes • Simplify the “hairball” • Reduce employee turnover
Time savings example • Need • Content teams used multiple versions of a single Excel spreadsheet to submit, track & assign key issues for Sunday turnovers • Solution • Moved data online to SharePoint • Built an automated work queue. When team members log in, they see a list of tasks assigned to them • Benefits • No more work compiling & sharing multiple spreadsheets • Everyone can add/view issues simultaneously • No more duplicate reporting of identical issues • Cuts a half a day off the weekly lockdown process • Total savings across Dotcom = $11,267/month and $135,200/year
Units of measure Quantitative ROI Qualitative ROI • Money • Increased revenue • Eliminated tools • Increased productivity • Lowered overhead per sale • Emotional • Improved employee morale • Elimination of unpopular tasks • Reduced user confusion • Happier customers • Time • Streamlined business processes • Just-in-time (JIT) information • Less rework • Faster time-to-market • Evolution of work • Ability to focus on higher-value tasks • More automation, fewer mistakes • Simplify the “hairball” • Reduce employee turnover
Key emotional factors • Push content to the right people at the right time • Eliminate the “soul crushing” work • Don’t make them have 45 windows open at once • Make your customers happy • Don’t take it away!
Example: Improve morale • Need • Online Tools was using ¾ of an FTE to manually transfer emailed support requests to the JIRA online ticketing system • Solution • Built a web-based form to capture structured data on issues • Auto-generated issues in the JIRA ticketing system • Benefits • Tickets created automatically within 1 minute • Requestors get to set their own priority levels • Uptick in employee morale • Re-allocated 30 hrs/week to providing support • Total savings = $6,500/month and $78,000/year
Example: Ability to focus… • Need • Project Managers manually built charts and graphs to report on daily UAT test results • Solution • Moved UAT test cases online to SharePoint • Incorporated Google Charting API for automated reporting • Benefits • No more work formatting Excel spreadsheets and building charts • Automated charts include up-to-the-second test results • Project Managers freed up to focus on value-add tasks at a critical time in the project lifecycle • Total savings = $23,400/year
