This worksheet allows small enterprises to determine the return on investment (ROI) of Software Assurance (SA). This analysis will also allow the enterprise to determine if the value of an SA subscription can be improved. Components of the ROI of SA that are addressed in this tool include:
- Time value of money.
- Direct cost savings.
- Reduced support and help desk costs.
- Productivity gains.
- Project risk mitigations.
If small enterprises cannot use the additional features included with SA, then the value of the SA subscription may be significantly reduced. A thorough analysis of the organization's ROI for SA subscriptions can result in significant cost savings or the increase in awareness and usage of the benefits SA provides.
This downloadable tool is associated with the research note, "Maximize the Benefits of Software Assurance."
