MCLEAN, Va., November 3, 2017 (Newswire.com) – Jeff Rumburg, co-founder and Managing Partner of MetricNet, presented Session 501, ‘The ROI of ITSM – Know Your Financial Impact!’, at the Annual FUSION Conference in Orlando, Florida. This marks the 4th consecutive year Mr. Rumburg has been selected as a speaker for the Annual FUSION Conference & Expo. In this presentation, Mr. Rumburg presented a simple yet compelling methodology for calculating the ROI of IT Service Management, provided case studies from two FORTUNE 100 companies that adopted an ROI methodology to justify their ITSM initiatives, and shared benchmarking data that objectively demonstrates the relationship between ROI and ITSM maturity. “Return on Investment is the ultimate measure of success for any business,” said Rumburg. “Unfortunately ROI remains an abstraction to most in the industry. Fewer than 10% of all IT organizations utilize this critical metric. Yet, it’s no secret that the most mature ITSM organizations are the ones who adopt and adhere to a strict ROI approach to service management.” Return on Investment is the ultimate measure of success for any business.
