Abstract

Currently the organization has been concerned with the analysis of the impact of IT investments. Economic pressures, combined with years of significant IT spending without demonstrating clear returns, forced companies to improve their financial practices and justify better and more clearly every penny invested way.

Nevertheless, this article may be applicable to all companies wishing to calculate the temporal return from a deployment
