SMS 2003 customers experience a 3 year ROI of 38-734%!
CIOview found that Microsoft SMS 2003 customers experience a 3 year ROI of 38-734%! How can the same Windows management software deliver such dramatically different results? On one hand, SMS 2003 can automate all of your patches and software updates, including even operating system upgrades. On the other hand, a poor implementation can create network issues. The financial benefit of SMS 2003 is also largely determined by:
- Whether you deploy SMS 2003 in one division or across your enterprise
- Number of desktops, laptops, handhelds, and servers managed by SMS 2003
- Degree to which you can automate existing desktop and server management tasks
- Which existing management software products are replaced with SMS 2003
- The level of resources you devote to installing and configuring SMS 2003
- The financial methodology you use to value time saved
- The importance you assign to security vulnerabilities
For the first time, financial benefits from SMS 2003 can be traced back to specific product features. Read the white paper, “The Business Value of SMS 2003.”
