“Systems Insight” advantage
IDC has identified three year savings from the implementation
of HP Systems Insight Manager of $35,533 per 100 users
based on analysis undertaken in 2007 (figure 2).
Since the IDC research was based on an earlier release of HP Systems
Insight Manager it is expected that the savings outlined will be even
greater when current Systems Insight Manager solutions stacks are
utilised.
With savings so tangible and the unmatched benefits highlighted
throughout this document it would be expected that implementation of
HP Systems Insight Manager would be prioritised by all.

However investigation undertaken by Computacenter has highlighted lack of time as the main inhibitor to successful implementation
of Systems Insight Manager even with the volume of easy to realise benefits available. In the current economic and operational
landscape with every unit of cost and time under intense scrutiny the tangible benefits delivered by HP Insight Manager can no
longer be ignored.
