A commissioned Total Economic Impact™ study conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of Optimizely found that over three years, a composite organization realized 370% return on investment (ROI), $9.84 million net present value (NPV). Optimizely also generated $1.1 million in savings due to increased developer productivity as a result of deploying the company’s DXP. To help arrive at the ROI and subsequent financial analysis, Forrester Consulting interviewed five decision-makers who are Optimizely One customers and designed a composite organization based on characteristics of the interviewees’ organizations.
