Reducing Risk When Using IT: Part 1

This article is the first installment of a series

Reducing and managing risk is important during uncertain times. Many companies are doing this by breaking new initiatives into smaller projects and funding them one at a time, versus committing to a major project up front. Technology investments are rightfully coming under this type of scrutiny and savvy managers are devising new ways to keep technology investments from putting a cash-crunched company into financial risk. Strategic thinking and careful use of staffing resources, creative approaches to managing costs and strong management and communications all offer ways to keep your IT projects on track.

Think Strategically about the Big Picture

Tackling the right type of systems is important. For example:

Company A is a $10M company with an 8 percent net profit. Their executives have to choose to (a) fund a system that increases sales by 30% or (b) a system that reduces costs by 6 percent.

Working through the scenarios reveals:

• A 30 percent increase in sales generates an additional $3 million of sales and profit of $240 thousand ($3M * 8% net profit)
• A 6 percent decrease in costs creates an additional $552 thousand of profit ($10M * 92% * 6%)

This is a simple problem, yet it illustrates the factor of difference between basing ROI on an initiative that promises to help us “grow out of our current problems” by increasing sales and a system that removes costs by integrating, streamlining, or removing work. As a company’s profit margins go down, as many have in current times, the benefit of savings over sales increases. This is an important consideration when choosing which technologies in which to invest.
