ROI/Value for money
On average a support personnel could spend about 15 to 20 hours a week (depending on the actual number of active projects and number of environments in use) on capturing, tracking and updating build information on environments in a spreadsheet etc, which is 80 hours a month and 960 hours a year. Subscribing to Omnium Light or purchasing the life time license with free yearly updates, negates this need to spend this amount of time on tracking what test environment is at which build level, a serious source of concern in most corporate organisations.
- On estimate 960 hours @ $50.00 = $48,000.00 spent only on tracking and updating build information on environments, Omnium Light v1 manages and captures all such information from Atlassian Bamboo in real time.
- According to Gartner, "The cost of fixing defects ranges from a low of approximately $70 (cost to fix a defect at the requirements phase) to a high of $14,000 (cost to fix a defect in production)"
