The ROI of user documentation: you could break even if you avoided 3 support calls per week 

We’ve been experimenting with another spreadsheet for calculating the Return on Investment (ROI) on User Assistance.

We wanted to look at: how many support calls an organisation needs to have resolved by users reading the Help content instead of calling Support, before it starts to see a return on the cost of creating the Help.

Using typical costs for an average sized software application, the figures suggest you could break even if you avoided 3 support calls per week.

Contact us if you’d like a copy of the spreadsheet, so you can make your own calculations.
