As an IT decision-maker, you may be under constant pressure to optimize costs without compromising on service, performance, or experience. A December 2022 study by Forrester concluded that an organization with 2,000 employees refreshing on a four-year cycle would see a 250% return on investment (ROI) from adopting Windows 11.
Compared to competitors, PCs powered by Snapdragon X Series processors offer additional value such as improved performance and extended battery life while also enhancing the user experience with on-device AI features.
Unpacking the ROI of Windows 11
Measuring Total Economic Impact requires several assumptions. The benefits described here are backed up by primary research and four case studies included in the report from Forrester.
- Improved Security: Reduces the risk of successful security attacks by 20% through TPM 2.0 chips, Secure Boot, BitLocker drive encryption, and smoother integration with third-party security solutions. Features like virtualization-based security (VBS) and hypervisor-protected code integrity (HVCI) further enhance security and performance.
- IT Management Efficiency: Increases time efficiency for device deployment and provisioning by 25%, security team efficiency by 20%, and reduces help desk requests related to OS and device issues by 40% in Year 1, 70% in Year 2, and 90% in Year 3. Migrating to Windows 11 also affords an opportunity to retire software with duplicative capabilities or features (like remote logins) that are baked into the new operating system.
- End-User Productivity: End-users are 15% more productive with Windows 11 devices, benefiting from enhanced hardware like better cameras and microphones, and support for the latest Wi-Fi standards. The battery life benefits of Snapdragon processors can take this to a whole new level.
