If Microsoft Operations Manager 2005 is Right for You

ROInow! for Microsoft Operations Manager 2005 is a software tool that will help you determine the financial impact of deploying a MOM solution. By answering a limited number of questions, ROInow! will generate a complete business report which includes the likely costs and benefits associated with MOM 2005. You will be able to compare installing MOM 2005 in a Greenfield environment, upgrading from MOM 2000 to MOM 2005, or migrating from a non-Microsoft solution to MOM. It will even automatically generate financial metrics, including Return on Investment (ROI), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Net Present Value (NPV), and Payback Period.

ROInow! will even allow you to showcase the individual benefits of uptime monitoring, performance monitoring, custom reporting, and help desk automation. If you are trying to determine the financial implications of Microsoft Operations Manager 2005, then this is the product for you!

Interview Process:		Choose from three distinct deployment scenarios: installing MOM 2005 in a Greenfield environment, upgrading from MOM 2000 to MOM 2005, or migrating from a non-Microsoft solution to MOM. You can also choose from several hundred server options and from 17 industry groups (the software includes industry default costs for employee salaries, benefits, depreciation method and schedule, cost of capital, etc). You are also given the option of assigning costs on a server or device basis, among other options.

Results:		The business case includes the financial impact of each of MOM's key four product features. This allows you to leverage the standard benefit methodologies to easily estimate the project's financial savings. You will also be able to understand how networking costs should be shared across projects, and the case to treat training as an investment, rather than a cost. Ultimately, you will see the impact of the ten key variables on your deployment costs.

A Step Further:		After you have seen the analysis, the software allows you to go back in and change any of the assumptions or choices to see how the ROI is affected. This includes changing risk, time to market, various warrant and support terms, and cost and benefit assumptions. Then you are ready to present your findings to your client, CEO, or CFO.

	Extensive What if Analysis After you have reviewed your cost comparison, the software allows you to drill-down and change any of the underlying assumptions.
