Justifying capacity management by demonstrating the ROI - what variables are key to determining ROI? ( 4 of 5)

Today I'd like to look at what variables are the key to determining ROI.

 

Below is a fairly comprehensive list for a cost/benefit analysis:

 

•      Resource utilizations

 

•      Growth in resource utilizations ( need for historical data)

 

•      Count of hardware/software assets

 

•      Cost of hardware/software assets

 

•      Maintenance cost for hardware

 

•      Capacity related incidents

 

•      Average cost of incidents

 

•      Risk of capacity related incidents

 

•      Capacity related labor costs

 

Component ROI model and cost benefit analysis

The examples below show basic spread sheets where you put in your numbers and variables to calculate ROI.
