Post Cost of Employees Searching for Information



Research studies from IDC, Gartner and other firms show that the cost of your employees spending 20% of their time searching for information can be valued at more than $500,000 per 50 employees. And that doesn’t count the cost of your employees using the wrong information, which 42% reported having done accidentally, in an Accenture survey.

 

Check out Extended Excel.  At one of our customer sites, we found they were spending over 65 minutes a day looking for spreadsheets and reports down throughout the enterprise.  Using Extended Excel, we took them down to 3 minutes a day.   Solution paid for itself in 1 day and returned over $2,000 a year per employee in lost salary time.  Just think of the productivity gains realized…

 

Huge ROI
