CNET Channel DataSource™: ROI Calculator

DataSource ROI Calculator Providing a catalog with the most accurate, complete and timely product information will increase e-commerce revenues through an improved customer experience. Easy access to product details will increase sales productivity and effectiveness through all channels.

Understanding specific economic and operational benefits is critical to determine the best plan for your company to design and implement a new solution. Our advanced ROI Calculator tool provides clear and accurate data and illustrates how your company can benefit from the on-demand product information delivered by CNET Channel's market-leading DataSource solution. See how DataSource's flexible data enables new ways to package and sell your products online - resulting in rapid productivity gains, higher revenues and dramatically lower e-commerce costs for your business.

The DataSource ROI Calculator tool captures data about your IT and e-commerce environment. Results are based upon data collected from real DataSource customers, and project how DataSource may impact your business over a three year period. The results help you determine the costs and benefits of deploying a DataSource solution.

The primary value drivers are in three areas:

  • Reduced costs to build and maintain product information database
  • Increased e-commerce revenues
  • Reduced sales and support costs

We encourage you to read the executive white paper Delivering Multi-Vendor Product Information to Facilitate Customer Purchase Decisions: Evaluating the ROI of CNET Channel DataSource™ to better understand the economic benefits of DataSource. The paper was written by Callan Consulting, an independent business modeling consulting firm, who interviewed a broad range of CNET Channel customers and gathered data from several secondary sources to create the DataSource ROI model. As this white paper describes key ROI benefits, it can be read either as a stand-alone document or in conjunction with the ROI model.
