Businesses often measure IT by uptime. But the real ROI goes deeper. To see IT as an asset, SMBs need to track the right metrics.

Meaningful IT ROI indicators:

  • Downtime avoided: Calculate productivity preserved during prevented outages.

  • Employee productivity gains: Time saved with automation, collaboration, and faster systems.

  • Compliance risk reduction: The value of avoiding fines or contract loss.

  • Customer experience improvements: Faster response times, better online service.

  • Cost predictability: Flat-rate MSP contracts versus unpredictable break/fix bills.

Tracking these requires visibility. ALCO provides reporting that translates IT performance into business outcomes, not just technical stats.

IT delivers value, but only if leaders measure the right things.
