WARNING: Caliach Ltd will not accept enhancement requests unless accompanied by a value per year that such an enhancement will have to you if implemented. An example of a valuation approach could be: “Presently every week we have to run two separate reports, enter the data into a spreadsheet then print and disseminate the results – taking around 30 minutes at GBP40 per hour. A single report with all the data would only take 5 minutes to generate/print and it would not be necessary to disseminate it as it is available from the central database to everybody. Cost benefit = ((30-5)/60) x 40 x 52 = GBP867 per annum”.
