The Barometrix Value Approach

It’s all about the users…

Since its inception, Barometrix has endeavored to find ways to directly link IT investments with business results. An initial challenge was defining IT value and creating a methodology to measure (in an ongoing fashion) the impact of factors beyond TCO, namely, productivity, revenue creation, cycle time reduction and business cost impacts.

Barometrix uses a framework to capture a full picture of value, using an “above the line” and “below the line” concept. Above the line value created by users in their use of information technology. Below the line costs are a full accounting of IT and business costs.

We embed this approach into our software and automate the measurement process so our clients can get a consistent and directly comparable view of value. Once established, value can be viewed a number of ways, such as by division, line of business, department, customers and virtually any meaningful perspective.
