Home Profile Core Wireless Infrastructure Video Surveillance Voice Financial Summary ROI Details Methodology Overview

Methodology: Provides a detailed description of the tool and describes Forrester's Total Economic Impact methodology. What is Total Economic Impact (TEI)? This tool quantifies the costs and benefits of implementing a Cisco Wireless solution within your firm. To create this model, Forrester Research analysts specializing in mobility services and financial analysis collaborated to define and quantify the benefit areas where companies may realize financial returns from the implementation. The tool integrates a number of financial modeling techniques to arrive at a risk-adjusted ROI - one which values the benefits of each implementation, while taking into account all of the costs associated with the implementation and the uncertainty in the cost and benefit estimates. The values delivered by the model are calculated using Forrester's Total Economic Impact (TEI) methodology, which includes elements of cost, benefit, and risk. In addition to leveraging the knowledge base of Forrester Research, several customers were also interviewed during the course of the development of this model, and their experiences confirmed the data presented here.

To learn more about Forrester's leading TEI methodology, visit www.forrester.com/TEI. Instructions This calculator is designed to provide you with an estimated return on investment on a services-rich wireless network. The home page contains the main navigational menu for the tool. Each of the following sections has been designed to be accessed sequentially via hyperlinks from the home page. As the user completes each of these sections, clicking on the HOME button at the top right corner of the page returns the user to the home page. After entering information on this Profile page, continue to the following tabs to calculate specific benefits that a Cisco Next-Generation Wireless Network provides. After completing all required fields, click on "Financial Summary" using the navigation bar on the right to see the results. User Inputs are required inputs when you are working with your customer to complete the tool. Default values gathered from research and customer interviews to provide default values based on industry averages. You may decide to keep the Default Value provided or to change the value to more specifically match your customer's business. When you change the default value the color of the cell change to communicate this shift. The "Reset" button on the home page will reset all Default Values to their original settings. Calculated Values based on inputs and any values calculated as a result of inputs. These cells are not changeable. Step 1: Input values Default value Changes to default values Calculated value

Describe Your Firm's Profile The step includes a number of basic questions to define your company's structure. The answers to these questions will be used to calculate the costs and benefits of implementing services. If you are unable to answer any of the questions, estimate the answer to the best of your ability. Calculate Business Benefits This step includes a series of question to estimate the benefits gained as a result of implementing the solution. Input Costs of Implementation This section provides a list of recommendation to deploy. Their associated costs makes up the cost estimates when implementing the solution. View Results This step allows you to review the results for the selections you have made. It displays the ROI of the solution for your company, as well as summaries and breakdowns of the costs, benefits, and payback period.
