Your ROI
The Return on Investment [ROI] &
Payback are extremely Compelling – Aberdeen rates EMA as
highest payback application, bar none.
Top 5 ROI:
1. Your ROI
through Less Staff Cost in Future
You can
recruit 2 LESS staff in the next 1-2 years. This gives you an
clear ROI.
You could
also redeploy the team members to other functions, which also
gives an ROI.
2. Your ROI
through Frauds and Inflated Claims being minimized.
Calculate
the number of claims for 2 years, and the typical expense
amount of the claims.
Assume a
5% reduction in inflated or fraudulent claims, due to more
precise and timely claim submission.
That’s
your ROI from reduced fraudulent claims.
3. Your ROI
from reduced mistakes or double payments
Assume
that every year, out of the thousand plus bills you pay to
vendors, you can reduce ONE mistake or double payment.
That
amount is again the ROI for you.
4. Your ROI from lower spending in discretionary areas
Discretionary spending, for example on travel or
entertainment, reduces significantly when you automate the
approval process. Each possible expense is inspected with a
magnifying glass to evaluate whether it is really required,
or whether it can be reduced. For example, if you reduce 5
travel trips per year, you can calculate the amount as a ROI.
5.
Your ROI
from Budget Control
In the
absence of a automated Budgeting Control system, invariably
at the end of the year, you would discover specific heads of
accounts where expenses over-shot the budget.
Prevention is better than cure, and the overshooting of the
budget could have been avoided.
Especially for items under the “Miscellanous” category, large
amounts of expenses get incurred in most companies. Budget
control helps reduce this expense category too.
Calculate
the largest budget head, and calculate a 5% reduction in cost
in that head. Or calculate a 10% reduction in the
Miscellaneous head, and count that as the ROI.
There are
various other ways too, in which you will gain your ROI.
Typically
companies who have 300-1000 employees could expect a ROI
within one or two years itself.
