Evaluation of information system investment benefits is challenging but also essential for successful investment execution.
Companies that do benefits evaluation carefully are able to focus on value adding topics during the investment project, which leads to better benefit realization and desired project outcome. It is typical, that information system investment project costs are recognized and evaluated carefully but benefits and possible threats of the investment are left for weaker attention. Weak benefits evaluation may easily lead to wrong assumptions on investment outcome and to disappointments when the assumed benefits were not realized.
EP-Logistics has performed research on information system investment benefits evaluation and based on that, developed procedures for systematic and comprehensive benefits evaluation.
