And revenue gains too

Published October 2009

ValueSpace, an award-winning iCafe franchisor headquartered in South Korea, has studied the return on investment realized by deploying PCs with Intel Core2 processors with vPro technology in its distributed cybercafe environment. The company wanted to identify the positive ROI offered by deploying 2,500 PCs with Intel vPro technology in its 24/7 iCafes. ValueSpace also wanted to identify the potential revenue gains for their iCafe owners.

Since deploying the PCs with Intel vPro technology, ValueSpace has been able to eliminate the need for virtually all site visits for software-related problems, and about half the site visits for hardware related problems. The company has already seen service costs go down and revenue gains go up and is projecting a positive ROI of 259% over five years.
