Research & Development Phase 3 involves reviewing the site after 12 months to identify improvements that can be made at – the Department level. Depending on other projects within Radiant Solar, additional functionality/systems may be made available through the Intranet. Benefits Analysis and ROI [In this section outline the benefits of the Intranet project. Consider such items as: The benefits possible from this change will be substantial over a five year period. Because what we are doing is changing the way we think about supporting systems, how they are bought, maintained and used. We divide the benefits analysis into benefits” and “direct “indirect benefits”. Direct benefits are easier to quantify with real dollar savings versus indirect which are often tied to employee and staff productivity time savings. Other indirect savings are reduction in risk as well. The following business case measures the before and after costs and benefits in the form of Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) along with productivity and competitive advantage benefits to the business in the future. We also break out cost savings into Hard Cost Savings - Direct budget impacting items like Hardware, software and IT Staff costs; and Soft Cost Savings - indirect savings like employee and staff productivity (time). Other benefits like risk avoidance, competitive advantage and employee moral are mentioned but not measured. Direct Benefits Hard Cost Savings – The direct benefits of this project are tied to streamlining processes and consolidating systems which we term Costs”. Hard Costs include the platorms and software that comprise your “Hard current internal services infrastructure vs. the proposed new infrastructure. When evaluating the Total Cost of Ownership, there are three main elements to take into account: Acquisition cost, Implementation cost and Support/Maintenance cost. Indirect Benefits - Soft Costs Employee and Staff time and thus productivity is the primary measure of soft costs. It is the measurement of time spent away from their primary duties doing administrative or internal service related activities. Time savings for repetitive For example Finding, completing and submitting Locating the latest version of documents
