Capturing baseline metrics

Capturing baseline metrics before the implementation process will help you analyze your ROI in

You can start off by boiling down all quantitative benefits gathered from performance metrics
across each department and then move to measuring qualitative benefits (which cannot be
quantified), such as user adoption and customer happiness.

User Adoption Metrics
Although ROI is often measured in terms of numbers, it is also based on indirect benefits like user
adoption and the team’s accomplishments after enabling a new system. One of the largest impacts
on system ROI is employee adoption. Bear in mind, a new system might be the magic elixir that
powers up your entire business process, but at the end of the day, it’s only as good as the people
who use it regularly. So as a company, you need to exercise due diligence while analyzing the
impact of user adoption. The below mentioned metrics cannot be calculated on a balance sheet,
but it is definitely an exercise worth pursuing.

● Improved data metrics and data quality


● Improved focus on business instead of technology
● Improved use of mobile devices to access work
● Support for organizational change
● Enhanced business Image
The Happiness Metrics
Most ROI reporting will be inclined to hardcore numbers like the increase in conversion rates,
reduction in sales cycle, a growth in average deal sizes and so on. But it might also be a grave
mistake to overlook how happy and comfortable your employees are with the brand new
technology you have equipped them with. Your ROI reporting will be incomplete if you fail to
measure how your users feel.

A few metrics to consider measuring:

- Peakon eNPS for the team using the system (compare before and after)
- The Peakon question “I have the tools necessary to do my job”
- A survey - “is our CRM/Subscription mgmt system any good?” OR “The system makes my job
easier” - Yes or No

This way you will stay abreast on the user experience without having to deal with complex
reporting mechanisms.
Business Enablement

Do you have business models that you can’t implement due to limitations in existing systems
today? Many times, a more powerful tool unlock innovation in how we do business. These are
often the most interesting ROI’s to measure.

● New pricing models


● Customer Success Packages
