Identity Management Return on Investment (ROI) Calculator

Identity Management projects, and primarily user provisioning and password management, can generate significant Return on investment (ROI) if planned and executed properly. However there are too many cases of organizations realizing only a portion of the potential return on investment (ROI) due to:

Poor planning
Overly optimistic assumptions
Lack of familiarity with the real complexities and costs associated with the project deployment and post deployment support
Poor functions and target system prioritization

There are no pre-defined factors or parameters entered by us in this identity management return on investment (ROI) calculator. All of the factors and their weights, costs, and reoccurring patterns are defined by you. You may also decide that certain factors have no value or impact on your return on investment (ROI), in which case you can enter a zero figure. If needed, we will be happy to provide you with the formulas we are using so you may re-check the calculations. The identity management ROI calculator, in this Web site, factors in the major parameters affecting the organization’s return on investment (ROI). For usability and simplicity purposes, we are presenting a shorter version here.

What do you need before starting?

The process itself may take you 10-15 minutes, and the results will be emailed to you after completion. You will need to gather the relevant data to enter. Here are the main categories of data required:

Number of users / passwords
Number of changes (create, modify, delete, reset)
Estimated time it takes to manually execute the changes
Estimated cost per hour of each person doing the manual work

The Return on investment (ROI) calculator consists of 2 components:

Return on investment (ROI) calculator per business process – this component contains the generic factors and parameters relevant for each business process such as new hire, user’s data modification, user termination, password reset, password unlocking, etc. In this site, we only present new hire and user termination as examples of how we customize the calculator for a specific business process. Click here to use this calculator.
Return on investment (ROI) calculator per system - We included in this site a specific calculator for SAP as an example of how we customize the generic calculator to meet the requirements of a specific system. Click here to use this calculator.

NOTE: If you started and you want to complete it later, you can save the data you entered so far into a temporary stage. This data will wait for you until you come back to finish the process. This will require registration.
