Age 5Explain it to a 5-year-oldStart with a picture
Imagine using Customer Platform Migration ROI to answer this question: compare customer-migration programme cost with infrastructure, support and retention benefits? Enter Customers to migrate, Migration cost per customer, Annual infrastructure saving per customer, and 2 other inputs; the calculator shows First-year customer migration ROI. Try changing one number and watch what happens to First-year customer migration ROI. The answer tells you First-year customer migration ROI.
Age 15Explain it to a 15-year-oldConnect it to the formula
Migration risk, customer disruption and benefit ramp should be modelled by cohort for a detailed decision. The rule is Migration ROI = (annual benefit − annualised migration cost) ÷ migration cost. Its input values are Customers to migrate, Migration cost per customer, Annual infrastructure saving per customer, Annual support saving per customer, Annual retention benefit per customer, and the main result is First-year customer migration ROI. Try changing one number and watch what happens to First-year customer migration ROI.
CollegeExplain it at college levelState the model precisely
This tool models one operating decision from explicitly supplied company assumptions. The implemented relation is Migration ROI = (annual benefit − annualised migration cost) ÷ migration cost, evaluated from Customers to migrate, Migration cost per customer, Annual infrastructure saving per customer, Annual support saving per customer, Annual retention benefit per customer to produce First-year customer migration ROI. Migration risk, customer disruption and benefit ramp should be modelled by cohort for a detailed decision. The model omits unentered taxes, cash timing, legal constraints and market uncertainty. Compare the output with company records and a downside scenario before committing resources.
The decision this tool supports
Compare customer-migration programme cost with infrastructure, support and retention benefits.
Why the business model works
Migration risk, customer disruption and benefit ramp should be modelled by cohort for a detailed decision.
Inputs and operating assumptions
This model uses Customers to migrate, Migration cost per customer, Annual infrastructure saving per customer, Annual support saving per customer, Annual retention benefit per customer. Keep currencies, accounting treatment and time periods consistent with one another.
The formula
Migration ROI = (annual benefit − annualised migration cost) ÷ migration cost
What the calculator produces
The primary output is First-year customer migration ROI; it also exposes Annual migration benefit, Total migration programme cost. Change one assumption at a time so the comparison remains explainable.
Before using the result in a decision
This compact model cannot capture every tax, accounting, legal, market or operational condition. Compare the output with current company records, cash timing and the downside scenario before committing resources.
