  7. Return on Investment (ROI) • In today’s economic climate, many IT decisions are viewed mainly by their ROI • Return on Investment (ROI) can evaluated a number of ways: ROI: NPV of input/NPV of output NPV: CF1/(1+r)1 + CF2/(1+r)2 +.... CFn/(1+r)n IRR: CF1/(1+r)1 + CF2/(1+r)2 +.... CFn/(1+r)n June 2003

  8. Other Factors • ROI is meant to be a precise measurement • ROI provides financial measurement, but often fails to capture other factors: •  Risks  Complexity •  Intangibles  Options Critical to take a broader approach to technology evaluation...particularly IPv6 June 2003

  10. Evaluating IPv6 in the Scorecard

  11. Financial Measures • Cash Flow sources for ROI measurements will come from • Cost Savings • Revenue Streams • Cost saving can come from operational improvements, reduced administration, improved integration, cost avoidances • Revenue streams driven by product/service sales June 2003

  12. Cost Saving Opportunities • Most compelling is the long term cost of maintaining/expanding IPv4 networks • NAT • Address space • Complexity • Limitation in new technology deployment • Security • QoS Source: Takashi Arano June 2003

  13. Revenue Streams • Generated from multiple sources • Extending the product life cycle of existing products (porting) • Innovating products that leverage aspects of the protocol (new product) • Innovating new services/features into existing product lines (product extension) • Service creation (product support) June 2003

  14. Customer Impact/Influence
