How to use productivity as a meassure of ROI
Transcript
hi Keith Johnson from the CTO visor calm with hopefully a helpful video on when to decipher when effect savings is really a savings especially in a storage hyper convert space I'm saying this awful lot we'll talk through how people savings or people time savings equals epic savings so if you can upgrade a cluster at a click of a button my great storage provision VMS without having the provision lawns that saves people time however that's not always an easy way to calculate a return on an investment
at least a return on an investment that will matter you can say ok across a hundred sites we save a half an hour per person a day which is a tremendous amount of time from a pure productivity perspective but a lot of times depending on your angle of who you're going to discuss an investment with that half an hour of time across a hundred sites may not mean an awful lot if you go on to finance and say hey you know what I can save a
half an hour of a person is time across a hundred sites the first question they're going to access oh so you're going to reduce your head count and we'll see actual effect savings if that doesn't happen then you're going to have a hard time selling a product based on the return on investment on effect savings however in the same case if you're in a situation where you have an MSP managed service provider and you make that same argument well that's a real savings across 30 minutes
across a hundred sites across let's say 30 pooled employees is a reduction of work on the managed service providers and you should see a reduction in your managed service provider bill another area where epic savings will most definitely come into play is if you're a group tasked with doing more with less from a practical perspective this is goal-setting time of the year your manager is coming to you more likely saying Sarah I need you to do this much work but i'm only giving you the same
amount of resources or even less than i did last year this is where sarah can go to her manager and say hey you know what we have this really impossible goal to meet but i think we can meet it potentially by implementing this hyper converse solution this new fangled storage array whatever the solution because i'll be able to alleviate pressure on my time because of the automation that comes along with this solution that really appeals to that level of management visit me on the web the
