Hard-Dollar ROI is Challenging

Conservative ROI of -90% at this revenue size. The Cost of Inaction is still ₱1.53M/year, but the investment doesn't recover more than it costs on direct savings alone.

Consider: phased approach starting with FI/CO to reduce Year 1 cost, or reframe the business case around growth capacity rather than cost savings.

“Sir, the reason companies your size invest in SAP isn't to save ₱5M — it's because you can't grow from ₱200.00M to ₱600.00M on Excel. The system IS the growth engine.”
