Note:
¹Year 1 assumes one-month period to plan, design, piloting, and roll out PlanMill system, based upon the PlanMill Implementation Process Plan.
²Client costs may vary, and there may be other costs that are unique to each individual organization.

ROI is based on Research by the META Group which, indicates that resource utilization averages 60 to 65 percent. This means that approximately 35 percent of a resource’s time is not used to the benefit of the organization.

Just a few minutes of calculation will demonstrate that relatively small increases in resource utilization could produce dramatic results.

For example, if a Service Organization with 125 individuals logging an average of 1,350 project-related hours per year could increase resource utilization only 3 percent; the result would be just over 5,000 extra productive hours - the equivalent of hiring a new four-person team full time,” and increase your revenue by reducing costs as represented below.

PlanMill customers have reported, in many cases, even higher results.

P.S. Sample ROI calculation does not include any savings gained by automating a manual process, visibility gains, or other administrative benefits.
