Have you ever wondered about the cost of provisioning tickets? Those seemingly minor changes and additions might seem insignificant, but research suggests that the cost could be as high as $60 per ticket. And that's just for creating an account. When you factor in moves, changes, user migrations, and other "small" adjustments, the costs quickly accumulate.

1. The Real Cost of Provisioning

Surprisingly, many organizations overlook the cost and process of enabling users in Microsoft Teams. This oversight can be attributed to:

  • Limited budget for investigation.
  • The misconception that in-house solutions are always cost-effective.
  • The belief that project teams add value to BAU activities.

2. Semi-Automated Provisioning Costs

While many companies have some automation in their user provisioning, they often require several human intervention steps. The average cost of a semi-automated provisioning task is approximately $32.56. This involves a combination of scripts and manual interventions, with significant time spent gathering necessary settings and data.

3. The Price of Human Error

Manual processes are prone to errors. These errors can arise from inaccurate data entry, mistakes in input data preparation, or sub-standard quality due to factors like poor training or fatigue. The average IT support ticket to resolve a configuration error is around $45, which can almost double in more complex cases.

4. Hidden Costs of Provisioning Errors

Each provisioning error affects a user's productivity and their team's efficiency. On average, an IT error results in about 4 hours of lost productivity for the affected user. For an organization with 120 provisioning errors in a month, this could translate to over $25,000 in lost employee productivity.
