1. Cost benefit analysis
Any enterprise is an economic entity pursuing profit. If the investment of the enterprise does not bring profit, the decision-maker will give up the investment. Similarly, enterprise e-commerce Website construction There should be investment. Decision makers must ask network designers to provide Website construction Cost estimates for. If e-commerce Website construction The capital invested is greater than the final income brought by the enterprise network. Of course, enterprises are not willing to do such loss businesses. Conversely, e-commerce website designers have to lose money if their cost estimates are too low. Therefore, cost/benefit analysis is also an important part of enterprise network demand analysis. The purpose of enterprise network cost/benefit analysis is to help network design and implementation personnel and enterprise decision-makers analyze whether it is cost-effective to establish an enterprise network from an economic perspective. Three aspects are often considered when starting cost/benefit analysis.
. Cost estimates.
Generally, it refers to estimating the direct costs required by enterprises to install networks, including the costs of purchasing network software and hardware products, and the costs of network design and development.
Estimate the running cost of e-commerce website.
It is difficult to estimate such costs, because the e-commerce website system has a feature that the operating cost is usually 3-4 times of the network construction cost. It includes network operation, technical support, maintenance and management costs.
Estimate the economic benefits that e-commerce websites will bring.
Investors are most concerned about this part. It is relatively easy to estimate the cost, because the cost of network software and hardware is visible, along with the required physical lines, network cards, servers, etc., can be calculated, and can be estimated according to the unit price. The cost of network design and development can also be estimated according to the similar method of software engineering for system development. However, network operation, maintenance, management and other costs are "potential" costs, which were often considered too little in cost/benefit analysis before. However, these "potential" costs are 3-4 times of the network construction costs The life cycle of e-commerce website operation is long. In addition to the operation costs, there are service management costs, network configuration costs, network maintenance costs, network upgrade costs, network management personnel and network user training costs in its life cycle. To estimate the future benefits of enterprise networks, we cannot simply compare costs and benefits. There are usually four methods: consider the time value of money; Investment payback period; Net income; Investment recovery.
