Logging ROI
If you are looking at deploying a log management and intelligence solution and need help calculating the return on investment, drop us a line. We've undertaken a considerable effort to develop a model that calculates ROI over multi-year periods. We're not posting it to the web just yet - there is a simple calculator up there - but we are offering the first five Enterprises or Institutions interested a free engagement with our ROI consultant to fast-track your business case.
CIO Insight touched on some of the issues surrounding ROI - "IT and business executives overwhelmingly agree: Their companies receive business value from their IT investments. But how much value, and what kind of value, is as clear as mud. When will there be progress?"
Progress starts today. Most organizations have never quantified the amount of labor and lost productivity required to manage access to various logs, and as a result most CIOs would be mildly shocked if one was to quantify the annual costs of this activity. Our model then looks at the number of events requiring log access. As a function this roughly proportional to the number of log sources (network nodes, applications, devices), "multiplied" by the number of access requests stemming from applications, audits, security, HR, customer service and help desk, etc.
