McAfee Research Report Sample

This study is meant to provide the reader with a framework to examine the costs and benefits of deploying the McAfee Network Security Platform. Based on our in-depth discussions with Adena Health, Forrester projects a three-year risk-adjusted ROI of 142% and a payback period of within five months. The NPV for this investment is $348,617 (risk-adjusted).

For Adena Health, a successful, well-planned implementation allowed significant incremental benefits and cost savings to be realized within IT. Adena Health also believes that its investment in the McAfee solution provides it with the agility and the future flexibility to take advantage of adding two Web-based portals for physicians and patients where health records can be reviewed and patients can schedule provider appointments and pay bills online. If the network was not secure, Adena would not have been able to even consider these portals. Although Adena understands the benefits, it’s too early for it to quantify these future benefits for this case study.
