Enspiria® Solutions | Services | Consulting

A business case provides a detailed analysis of technology options - resulting in a low risk deployment solution that is both flexible and cost effective. In searching for an optimal solution, multiple technologies deployment options typically need to be evaluated. Based on our industry and implementation experience, Enspiria Solutions uses a structured and proven business case process to generate a financial model for project implementation and maintenance. Our template ensures that the costs are realistically captured across a wide range of categories.

Enspiria uses a proven, structured process to capture benefits for the business case, which may include one or more of these categories:

For the utility:

Hard savings in labor productivity gains, rework avoidance, capital project deferrals due to better planning, IT cost avoidance, etc.
Soft savings such as reductions in certain labor categories, improved system and data reliability.
Strategic benefits such as improved customer response, improved documentation support, more accurate performance measurements for management, standardized workflows, and organizational effectiveness.

Strategic benefits such as improved revenue streams by knowing proximal locations of serviceable facilities in relation to prospective customers and by planning investments in infrastructure expansion based on customer base potential.
Savings due to targeted marketing through selective mailings based on demographic and geographic criteria rather than mass mailings and reduced trouble response costs by knowing infrastructure location.

Cost reductions by centralizing data management and eliminating redundant data sets and by integrating cross-departmental workflows to eliminate duplicated functions.

Our modeling framework is flexible enough to allow for changes to the initial model structure as more detailed information is developed in later stages of the project. For example, the preliminary business case often forms the basis of the vendor inquires and evaluations, while the final business case will be based on vendor provided costs. The final cost-benefit model is fully aligned with the scope and timeline of the technology implementation plan(s).
