The Total Economic Impact™ Of the Intel vPro® Platform as an Endpoint Standard
IT leaders are under growing pressure to provide endpoint devices that enable employee productivity and can be supported with small IT teams and budgets. Intel commissioned Forrester Consulting to conduct a Total Economic Impact™ (TEI) study and examine the potential return on investment (ROI) enterprises may realize by deploying Intel vPro as their standard endpoint platform. The purpose of this study is to provide readers with a framework to evaluate the potential financial impact of Intel vPro as an endpoint standard on their organizations.1

Cost Savings and Business Benefits Enabled by the Intel vPro® Platform as an Endpoint Standard
In this TEI study from Forrester, discover the cost savings and business benefits delivered by Intel vPro® from enhanced hardware security and lowered energy usage to reduced support costs and improved employee satisfaction.
This Total Economic Impact (TEI) study by Forrester – based on customer interviews and survey responses – translates the features of Intel vPro® into real-world business benefits, including:
Easier endpoint device setup and ongoing management for IT, providing $1.7 million in value to the composite organization (10,000 employees) over three years.
IT can deploy Intel vPro-based devices 30% faster than non-Intel devices.
40% fewer help desk support tickets.
Employees have fewer escalated issues with Intel vPro-based devices, which avoids 90% of endpoint hardware-related onsite visits from IT staff. The reduction in travel and IT staff time is worth $1 million over three years.
Intel vPro’s hardware-enabled security results in 23% fewer breaches.
The composite organization spends 35% less time on breach investigation, with 10% to 12% of this improvement attributable to Intel vPro’s hardware-enabled security in addition to other security practices enabled by Intel vPro technologies.
Intel vPro-based devices use 15% less energy than comparable non-Intel vPro-based devices, which saves $70,000 in energy costs over three years.
Lower energy usage per endpoint device and fewer onsite visits, allows the composite organization to avoid 368,000 kgs of carbon emissions over a three-year period.
4 Key Benefits
Protected core business revenue. IT staff can remotely access remote devices that require specialized knowledge or clearance and reduce operational downtime.
Improved employee experience. Employees experience fewer interruptions and greater device performance, which allows them to be more productive and to have a better working experience.
Retained customers. More customers are retained as there are fewer material breaches and a faster recovery time, which helps protect customer trust.
Protected ecosystem trust. Like customer trust, the trust of ecosystem partners is better protected with Intel vPro’s hardware-enabled security. This provides the organization with long-term benefits of better working relationships and a security reputation throughout the supply chain and industry.
“We originally went with (Intel) vPro because it defines a set of hardware standards inside the device. We knew what we were getting and that the OEMs didn’t mess around midstream and change out any hardware. We used (Intel vPro) as a lever to make sure we knew exactly what we were getting from our OEMs.”
Senior systems engineer, airline
“(Intel) vPro devices are a little bit more expensive than regular devices but we see a lot of financial and non-financial benefits. All this accounts for a better ROI if you spend on (Intel vPro) devices.”

Product and Performance Information
The TEI study and results are based on a composite organization with 10,000 employees and PCs, with some purchases of Intel vPro® platform devices already completed. The composite organization is based on seven interviews with and 500 survey responses from IT decision makers at midmarket and enterprise organizations across many regions and industries.
