In the 1st step, we define 5 major potential benefit areas you will see from conversion. For each, we frame the benefits based on the first year of operation after the new system is up and running and how they will be the same or greater in subsequent years.
The 2nd step is to estimate costs of the conversion. We provide you with a step-by-step approach for estimates on these costs. Based on our experience we have already plugged in average values, which you can replace with your own. If you do not have figures at hand, you can download our VFP Code Matrix tool.
