There may not be sufficient empirical research or metrics to demonstrate how using Microsoft Office 365 (O365) contributes directly to business value in a measurable way. However, there are cases in which evidence suggests that purposeful, focused adoption and usage of O365 can contribute significant business value.
A comprehensive review of how O365 impacts business value suggests that value can be realized in two major categories:
- Cost reduction value as a result of O365 implementation
- Adoption-driven value
For example according to research from Forrester, approximately 75% of the business value of O365 is driven by ongoing adoption and usage and the remaining 25% is typically realized from IT-centric cost reduction factors (e.g., reduced IT support, reduced back-end hardware).
Adoption-driven value can be broken down into six primary sources of business value.
