Bias-Free Language

The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Introduction

The Return on Investment (ROI) Report in TEO shows the end user how much money they save when TEO is permitted to automate their business processes versus doing it manually.

Prerequisites

Requirements

There are no specific requirements for this document.

Components Used

The information in this document is based on these software and hardware versions:

Tidal Enterprise Orchestrator 2.1 or later
SQL Reporting Services

The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, make sure that you understand the potential impact of any command.

In order to import reports to your SQL RS Server, click the Administration tab, and then click Database Settings.
Right-click on Reporting Database > Import Reports and complete the steps in the wizard.
Next, click on Adapters in the same Administration Tab and right-click Core Functions Adapter.
Click the ROI tab, and based on your business research, input the Hourly rate at which it would cost you to run the automated processes manually. Click OK.
For the processes that you wish to track, you need to edit the process and go to the General tab for Process Properties. On that tab, you see a Time saved by the execution of this process input. Input the time value for how many seconds/minutes/hours you save from this process.

Note: This is already defined for included Cisco Content, but if you develop new content it defaults to 0, so then it needs to be configured.
In order to view your report, go to your SQL Reporting Services server, which is normally http://<RS_Server>/Reports and then go to the TEO Reporting link. Choose Core > Operations > ROI Report. Then choose your TEO server and generate the report in order to see your daily cost savings.
