When many enterprises choose information system suppliers, they often ask IT product and service suppliers to provide a benefit evaluation list. When the system is actually put into operation, it is difficult to see the benefit evaluation figures described in the project proposal. According to the experience and some methods commonly used in the industry, CCID Consulting summed up a set of simple methods for estimating the benefits of enterprise informatization, providing reference for enterprises to scientifically calculate the benefits of enterprise informatization. Here are two main methods.
Empirical evaluation method is the simplest method, and it is also a common benefit evaluation method for software and hardware manufacturers. The so-called empirical evaluation is generally based on a large number of investigations and statistics. After the implementation of the system, the promotion ratio of enterprise informatization to enterprise key benefit indicators is used as a method to calculate the benefits of similar enterprise information systems. The following set of figures is an example of the benefit evaluation of a typical ERP system: decrease in inventory funds15%-40%; Increase the number of capital turnover by 50%-200%; The shortage of parts will be reduced by 60%-80%, and the labor productivity will be increased by 5%- 15%.
Quantitative evaluation methods Generally speaking, empirical figures and methods are not very reliable. Every enterprise has different characteristics and operation modes. Based on the analysis of the root cause and process of enterprise informatization, CCID Consulting proposed the following calculation methods:
The total benefit of enterprise informatization = direct benefit+market benefit+social benefit.
Direct benefit of enterprise informatization = cost reduction+time value of various funds.
Market benefit = enterprise profit growth ×A% (evaluated according to different conditions of enterprises)
Social benefit = market benefit ×B% (evaluated according to different conditions of enterprises)
Evaluation method of relative contribution According to the statistical analysis of Measurement and Classification of Enterprise Informatization Level by Mr. Gong, the Sixth Institute of Electronics, Ministry of Information Industry, the enterprise informatization level is divided into three categories: primary informatization, intermediate informatization and advanced informatization, and the contribution rates of the three informatization levels to enterprise benefits are as follows:
Primary informatization: the contribution rate is 5-10%;
Intermediate informatization: contribution rate15-20%;
Advanced informatization: the contribution rate is 25-30%.
Therefore, enterprises can simply evaluate the benefits of enterprise informatization after evaluating the level of enterprise informatization according to the corresponding classification methods.
