Finding the return on your Microsoft UC investment (BVA)

Organizations today are closely examining their expenses, looking for opportunities to reduce costs, and searching for solutions that can positively transform their business with a quick return on investment. 

SKT has an offering to help you measure the business impact for your organization through the application of Unified Communications. We will analyze your current business needs and technology infrastructure challenges and provide a comprehensive business case document that identifies opportunities for cost and resource savings.  

Benefits of a Unified Communication Business Value Assessment (BVA)

  • Identify solutions to overcome business and IT challenges
  • Identify potential cost savings opportunities and compare total cost of ownership (TCO) Build a compelling business and financial case to support strategic investments

Quick Facts

  • One-week engagement
  • Onsite interviews with your business and IT stakeholders
  • Business Case document that includes recommendations for solutions and financial data on TCO and return on investment (ROI)

IT leadership's task of defining a return on investment (ROI) for Unified Communications is a challenge.  There are many factors that enter into the discovery process including specific saving for hardware and outsourced services such as conferencing.  Beyond that, it is important that the total cost of ownership is clearly defined.  A migration to Microsoft Unified Communications (OCS, Exchange, Sharepoint, LiveMeeting, etc.) can dramatically change your support requirements and required skillsets among IT professionals. 

SKT has a long history of helping companies migrate to communications platforms that offer new benefits and help you transition your business and workforce both adding productivity and reducing cost.  View the slide presentation below for a quick overview of our methodology.  For more information on how to quantify a return on your UC investments refer to the following related blogs on our site:
