Cost center or profit center?

A powerful new way to calculate your IT department's value to your company.

Do you know the real impact-in sales, production and customer satisfaction--of network down time to your company?

Increasingly, companies in all sectors--from manufacturing to services--are learning to calculate the real cost; they are discovering it is staggering--unimaginably more than they ever thought possible.

(As one observer commented, businesses are becoming so network dependant that the time is coming when a single server failure could shut an entire corporation down for hours, even days. No wonder top management is increasingly nervous.)

Plus, every day, more and more companies do the arithmetic. If your company has not yet done so, it's just a matter of time.

Where does this put you?

In a position to make a rock-solid case to your management to fund some major upgrades to your department - when you contact us to learn...

At Kelly Communications Systems, we design, install and maintain state-of-the-art KVM systems from Avocent Corporation.

Recently, Avocent made a remarkable new, state-of-the-art ROI Calculator software tool available to us. Avocent commissioned Ziff-Davis' modeling specialists at Baseline Magazine, to develop it at the request of a number of Fortune 500 companies to...

1. Help compute the real impact of system downtime on business...

2. Inform and validate purchasing decisions by calculating how long it would take to recoup the capital needed to upgrade equipment critical to the support and maintenance of networks.

Now, we can arrange to run Avocent's ROI Calculator for you..and give you a printed report that offers an accurate accounting of what system downtime really costs your company in ways you might not have considered...what your management should realistically be budgeting for you to do your job...and how soon your company can expect to see a payoff if you do add to, or upgrade your KVM equipment.

Some of the numbers may astound you and your management as you discover the huge potential leverage yu and your department have over your company's fortunes. You'll see how in some cases, even a modest upgrade to your KVM equipment could send some significant extra dollars right to the bottom line.

What is more astomishing are the break even and payback times. Instead of years, equipment upgrades now often pay for themselves in a matter of months.

(Remember, these are not "Avocent's results" per se. Though commissioned by Avocent, the ROI Calculator was developed outside Avocent by the independent, third party modeling specialists at Baseline. The ROI Calculator is, as they say, an honest broker. So even if new equipment can only promise a modest ROI now, you will at least gain a benchmark for the future decisions.)

Get started by contacting us now to arrange to run the ROI Calculator for you. At your convenience; we'll come in, show you how the calculator works...answer any questions you may have,,,then go over the numbers to begin the process. The meeting only takes about an hour . And you'll have your full ROI report within a week.

It costs you nothing and obligates you to nothing.

So go ahead and contact us now. The results will be worth your time.
