Estimate SOFEEI's value for your IBM i portfolio

Enter your portfolio and team numbers below. The model calculates how much labor and risk cost SOFEEI is likely to reduce, and whether the investment pays back.

All calculation is client-side only. Nothing is sent anywhere.

How this is calculated

Annual baseline labor = changes/year × (analysis hours + impl hours) × hourly rate
Annual baseline incident cost = incidents/year × cost/incident
Annual benefit = labor saved (analysis + rework) + incident cost saved
Net annual value = annual benefit − SOFEEI annual cost
ROI = (net annual value ÷ SOFEEI cost) × 100
Payback = (SOFEEI cost ÷ annual benefit) × 12 months

This is a directional financial estimate only. Actual results depend on team adoption, system complexity, change volume, and how consistently SOFEEI is used in daily workflows. Validate ROI assumptions via a scoped 90-day pilot before committing full budget.
