Reviews
"AIE's unique strengths are its processes for clarifying
and quantifying 'unmeasureable' benefits, costs and risks and their presentation
in a probabilistic model based on a range of estimates (versus single-point estimates).
Thus, it structures an investment decision in economic terms with defined levels
of risk/return."
The Gartner Group
"AIE represents a rigorous, quantitative
approach to improving IT investment decision making…..this investment will return
multiples by enabling much better decision making. Giga recommends that IT executives
learn more about AIE and begin to adopt its tools and methodologies, especially
for large IT projects."
Giga Information Group
"AIE-like methods must become the standard
way to make (IT) investment decisions."
Forrester Research, Inc.
"The theory of Applied Information Economics
is right on target. People that don’t use these methods will be missing a lot of
opportunities."
Dr. Marshall Van Alstyne,
MIT Sloan School of Business
"AIE has cut through what has largely
been an academic subject to develop practical techniques which can yield real benefits."
Dr. Reed A. Augliere,
The Open Group
"The only reason someone wouldn’t use
AIE is they don’t know it exists......AIE is definitely unique."
John Mitchell,
Argonne National Laboratory
"We believe that by YE2000, 20% - 30% of
the Global 2000 companies will use AIE processes. CIOs will see the value
of AIE to improve cost/benefit analysis to support IT investment decisions,
develop financial-based QA metrics to validate IT efficacy, and compile and use
the AIE data for strategic planning input to identify the best return on investment/value
(RIO/V) for both new and enhanced information systems."
Al Passori & Louis Boyle,
META Group, Inc.
"AIE will have a profound effect on
our IT decision process because it focuses us on the right questions as a basis
of good decisions"
