The International Institute of IT Economics (IIIE) is dedicated to better understanding of the costs and benefits (TCO and ROI) of Information Technology investments. Our mission is to validate the value proposition of IT investments through rigorous methodology, market insights and extensive experience. IIIE provides research, audit, certification and consulting services to IT vendors and buyers.
IIIE works with IT vendors that use Total Cost of
Ownership (TCO) and ROI as a competitive differentiator and marketing
tool. All major and most small and medium IT vendors have a TCO story
and many have developed models that demonstrate the cost difference
between their solution and the competition. The competition may be
another vendor’s solution or the status quo – i.e., no decision.
IIIE offers an
independent audit and certification of the baseline models used to
perform these analyses, the specific analyses themselves and the
follow-up to determine actual cost/benefits realization.
