Goals
-
- Realise a significant reduction in time for the high skill, high cost resources which could be delegated to lower skill and lower cost resources to manage
- Achieving an effective saving in cost, and realising more available time for the high skill individuals.
Costs
If we take this scenario, we notice a few things:
- The tasks are repeated many times per week, eg 20. That’s as many as 1000 per year
- The tasks require a high level of privilege on the Office 365 tenants, but really are not highly skilled tasks.
- In this example over 500 hours per year is spent performing the onboarding task. That’s over $20,000.
With Nova
The primary product being used is Delegation & Policy Control.
If envisage a one-time cost to build and test an appropriate authorization policy of $500.
If we also predict that the annual cost of Nova is $75000.
We can predict a significant part of this ($20k) is paid for by delegating this ONE task.
