Creation Costs - Defined, Dissected & Diminished
Wednesday, June 20, 2018 10:00AM - 11:15AM
Recurring monthly revenue (RMR) is the holy grail for valuing security dealers and integrators. Yet, many companies don’t fully appreciate the power of knowing what creation cost is, and how it affects their profitability and enterprise value, and why it’s so important to track. Understanding creation cost can be used to seek financing for your company, to provide valuable insights on acquiring RMR contracts vs. growing organically, or to increase profitability of the organization. In this session, you’ll hear from leading creation cost experts:
• What costs get lumped into this bucket
• How to track these costs simply and effectively
• What the average creation cost metrics are for small, medium and large companies
• Ways to lower creation costs that drift higher
