Today CIOs are facing a challenge to do more with less and there is tremendous pressure on IT budgets. In such a scenario, it is crucial to justify the projected investments. Hence managing a positive ROI from a large and strategically critical investment decision becomes the key focus of organizations. It is even more crucial to realize if it is possible to leverage and enhance upon the past investments made in IT. Before embarking upon such IT initiatives, it is recommended that an organization carry an assessment of cost involved in the proposed IT initiatives and benefits derived from it. Patni has developed a robust ROI Framework - iReturns, which is based on Discounted Cash flow and ROI/Payback period Analysis. iReturns enables quick assessment of the value of proposed IT initiatives. It helps organizations accelerate the decision-making process and ensure selection of the solution that will deliver the highest returns.
