# Return on Investment

### Development:

Building a Separation Rule is more efficient than wrestling with ACLs, domain separation, or business rules, and more powerful & flexible than data filtration. Simple Data Separation allows point-and-click configuration, ensuring quick, consistent data security that is simple to deploy and audit.

#### Typical Savings:

| *Development*: Average **18-hour savings per table** on initial development & testing of your security rules (more as rule complexity and usage of overrides increases). Simple Separation is easier, more powerful, and more consistent than ACLs or Data Filtration.          | 10 tables x 18 hours = **180 hours** |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| *Maintenance*: Average **24-hour savings per table per year** on future troubleshooting & enhancement. Simple Separation isolates configuration to a single rule with point-and-click configuration, compared to dozens of ACLs or complicated Domain Separation configuration. | 10 tables x 24 hours = **240 hours** |
| *No Domain Separation*: Implementing domain separation has significant license cost implications and is generally 1.5x implementation effort compared to a non-DS implementation.                                                                                               | **$200,000+**                        |
| *Manual Access Provisioning*: Average **20 hours per week** fielding and provisioning access requests. Simple Access Requests automate this process.                                                                                                                            | 52 weeks x 20 hours = **1040 hours** |

### User Productivity:

Simple Data Separation provides efficient data security with no additional UI distraction. Our optimized queries & caching ensure users can quickly access the data they need to do their job.

#### Typical Savings:

| Average **20-hour savings per fulfiller per year** in productivity gains. Users will spend minimal time waiting for data and more time being productive. | 1000 users x 20 hours = **20,000 hours** |

### Risk Mitigation:

Data security is mission critical, and a single breach can be disastrous. Simple Data Separation’s consistent, auditable method of deploying security provides peace of mind and great potential savings.

#### Typical Savings:

| A single data breach can cause incalculable losses. | **Unlimited** |
