Recorded in April, 2010, this Webex Webinar was hosted by AOIS Manager Stephanie Misner, AOIS Coach Meghann Murphy, and Mindy Britton, Compliance Auditor/Board Liaison at the Ferris State University-Charter School Office. The presentation covers current document management, compliance, and charter school oversight issues, and provides "Tips and Tricks" that can be helpful with transitioning your oversight activities from a manual to an automated process (29 minutes).

The Return on Investment (ROI) Cookbook provides an easy to follow process for determining return on investment percentage and break-even point for project based activities. ROI justification is divided into three categories:

• Directly displaceable costs - the best kind of justification
• Cost avoidance activities - the next best level of justification
• Improved productivity - the hardest to define kind of justification

The ROI Cookbook contains a thorough explanation of each type and how you gather supporting data to calculate your ROI and break-even. A sample project and Excel™ model is included within the cookbook. This will make is easier for you to use this guide for your projects.

If you prefer to have an outside consultant do the ROI study, please contact Corporate Computer, Inc. and we can arrange to place a qualified analyst on site. This fee-based activity will provide a definitive ROI percentage and break-even point for your project.

This two page document does a nice job of briefly touching on the key benefits of AOIS. This document is used at trade shows to provide an overview of AOIS.

The first white paper was jointly written by James N. Goenner of CMU and Larry Brannan of Corporate Computer. It outlines AOIS in more detail than the AOIS Overview document listed above.

This is the standard AOIS presentation we use as part of our Internet demonstrations. The presentation contains some embedded audio and video clips so it may take longer to download depending upon your Internet connection speed.
