A Total Economic Impact™ Analysis Uncovers Significant
Benefits. Project portfolio management (PPM) discipline
has remained a significant effort in organizations of
all sizes. Both inside and outside of IT, leaders are
turning to PPM to better capture, manage, prioritize,
and align investments and resources with the hopes of
increasing the amount of business value they can
provide. Organizations are choosing to implement PPM
software solutions to provide a tool base for this
objective. Almost anyone who has looked into the return
on a PPM software investment has seen massive
triple-digit returns advertised by these vendors. But is
it true? The answer is, “Yes — it can be.” A Total
Economic Impact™ (TEI) analysis shows that a
comprehensive PPM tool investment is likely to provide
an ROI of more than 250%, whether delivered on-premise
or via software-as-a-service (SaaS). pdf 2009
