Webinar: How Enterprise Teams Are Replacing SAP BusinessObjects With a Connected Spreadsheet

Row Zero Value Framework

Productivity Calculator

Estimate your annual savings from eliminating manual export and rebuild work, plus any BI seats you can retire once teams work directly in a governed, connected spreadsheet.

Number of people, 1 to 5,000.
Time spent exporting, rebuilding, and reconciling spreadsheets. Range 0.5 to 20 hours per week.
e.g. Analyst $60, Manager $85, Director $120.
Weekly = 48, Monthly = 12, Quarterly = 4.
Seats that could be reduced once teams self-serve in the spreadsheet.
Monthly list price per seat for the BI tool being reduced.

Estimated savings

Weekly labor cost

$255,000

Annual labor cost

$3,060,000

Annual tooling savings

$210,000

Labor cost basis: team size multiplied by weekly hours and loaded hourly rate gives the weekly labor cost. That figure is then scaled by the number of review or reporting cycles per year, since manual export and rebuild work is concentrated around those cycles rather than spread evenly across all 52 weeks.
Tooling savings basis: BI seats to reduce multiplied by monthly cost per seat, annualized. This line is optional and can be set to zero if no seat reduction is planned.

Methodology: weekly labor cost = team size × hours per person per week × loaded hourly rate. Annual labor cost = weekly labor cost × review or reporting cycles per year. Annual tooling savings = BI seats to reduce × cost per seat per month × 12. Total estimated annual savings = annual labor cost + annual tooling savings. This is a directional planning estimate. Replace defaults with your own team's numbers for an accurate figure.
