Phil Wolff [1] pointed [2] me to some mind-twisting numbers about a Klognet (aka set of trackbacking Project Blogs!) concering Costs, ROI and Benefits compared to portals - that John Robb [3] created based on a ROI evaluation guideline that he downloaded at Plumtree Software - a corporate portal software vendor.
- blogs can replace portals except for Application Access/Frontend
- Costs: $142 vs. $807 per desktop (Costs 82% less)
- Benefits: $1,658 vs. $1,886 per desktop (Delivers 88% of the value)
- ROI: 1,170% vs. 240% (or 4.9 times the ROI)
