ROI Calculation¶
Cost Savings¶
Hardware Elimination: - Server hardware: $[X]/year eliminated - Gateway/SBC: $[X]/year eliminated - Data center costs: $[X]/year eliminated - Total Hardware Savings: $[X]/year
Operational Savings: - Maintenance contracts: $[X]/year eliminated - On-site support: $[X]/year reduced - Upgrade costs: $[X]/year avoided - Total Operational Savings: $[X]/year
Efficiency Gains: - Agent productivity improvement: [X]% × $[Y] labor cost = $[Z]/year - Reduced AHT: [X] seconds × [Y] calls × $[Z]/min = $[A]/year - Self-service increase: [X] more IVR contains × $[Y] cost/call = $[Z]/year - Total Efficiency Savings: $[X]/year
Revenue Impact¶
Customer Experience: - Improved CSAT → reduced churn: $[X]/year - Higher NPS → new customer acquisition: $[Y]/year - Better FCR → cross-sell opportunities: $[Z]/year
Business Agility: - Faster feature deployment → competitive advantage - Support for new channels → market expansion - Elastic capacity → revenue protection during peaks
Total ROI¶
ROI = (Total Benefits - Total Costs) / Total Costs × 100%
Example:
Total 3-Year Benefits: $2.5M (savings + revenue)
Total 3-Year Costs: $1.5M (migration + subscription)
ROI = ($2.5M - $1.5M) / $1.5M × 100% = 67% over 3 years
