Organizations Can Now Easily Evaluate the Costs and Benefits of Adopting Data Warehousing

Boxborough, MA -- CIOview Corp., the leading provider of Web-based financial analysis tools that allow CIOs (Chief Information Officers) to make better Information Technology (IT) purchase decisions, announced today ROInow! for Data Warehousing.

"Finally, someone has committed a robust ROI methodology to software and made it commercially available," explains Wayne Eckerson, Director of Research and Education at The Data Warehousing Institute. "Data warehousing professionals should find this tool useful in helping to sell their data warehousing projects and measure the business benefits of the investments in terms business people can understand and appreciate."

ROInow! for Data Warehousing is an easy-to-use software tool that allows any organization to determine the fully inclusive costs and the financial benefits of implementing and maintaining a data warehousing solution. Using ROInow! for Data Warehousing, organizations can determine the return on investment and payback period for the data warehousing solution that is tailored to their unique situation.

"With financial benefits becoming a increasing factor in organization's technology purchase decisions, our new product is a lifesaver for IT decisionmakers making a monumental and typically expensive data warehousing decision. The built-in knowledgebases let them skip all the varied background research and finger-in-the-air guesses, to derive a spot-on assessment of the financial impact of adopting data warehousing," said Scott McCready, President of CIOview.

Pricing and Availability
ROInow! for Data Warehousing is priced at $499, and is now available at www.cioview.com

About Return on Investment Analysis
ROI is the most used metric when you need to compare the attractiveness of one business investment to another. According to IDC, customers spending $1 million on software take 18 months on average to make their purchase decision. Among those customers that can demonstrate a proven ROI, 65% make their purchase decision in six months or less.

The results of an ROI calculation are expressed in percentage terms and qualified by a time period. ROInow! uses a three-year time period, the standard in software purchasing since technology becomes effectively obsolete in that time period. Simply speaking, a three-year ROI of 150% means that the benefits you accrue over three years are one and a half times greater than the cost and resources necessary to implement it.

"With financial benefits becoming a increasing factor in organization's technology purchase decisions, our new ROInow! products for NDS eDirectory and ZENworks Solution are a lifesaver for IT decisionmakers. The built-in knowledgebases let them skip all the varied background research and thumb-in-the-air guesses, to derive a spot on assessment of the financial impact of adopting NDS or ZENworks." Said Scott McCready, President of CIOview.
