Oracle Business Intelligence Applications Deliver Significant ROI According to a Study by Leading Independent Research Firm


Results Show Risk-Adjusted Return of 97 Percent, Savings of More Than $1 Million and 15 Percent Reduction in Inventory Working Capital
 
 
A recent commissioned Total Economic Impact (TEI) study conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of Oracle found that Oracle Business Intelligence (BI) Applications can deliver significant ROI by providing complete, real-time, and enterprise wide insight for all users, enabling fact-based actions and intelligent interaction1.

After conducting in-depth interviews with four Oracle Business Intelligence Applications customers that shared quantitative and qualitative results, the study found that the companies realized the following key benefits:

Significant ROI2 - experienced a three-year risk adjusted return on investment of 97 percent with a 20-month payback period;

Lower procurement spend3 - realized five percent lower procurement costs in the first year and increased to seven percent in the second year;

Accounts payable savings4 - achieved savings of more than $1 million per year by the third year;
Lower inventory working capital5 - experienced 15 percent reduction in inventory for the affected product categories over three years;

Increased gross sales and prices - increased gross sales by 0.4 percent in affected parts of the organization6 and increased average sales price by 0.3 percent7 over three years;

IT and business labor savings - achieved efficiencies in both the IT and business sides of the organization;
Forrester's TEI analysis measures costs and benefits in areas typically accounted for within IT. It also weighs the enabling value of a technology in increasing the effectiveness of overall business processes. This study provides enterprises with a framework to evaluate the potential financial impact of Oracle BI Applications.
