An engagement like this is scoped against a target of 35-45% faster L1 ticket resolution, with 70-80% of routine requests auto-resolved without human touch - planning assumptions built from your own ticket history during scoping, not promises. Password resets, standard permission grants, and basic access issues stop consuming your team's week; count those hours during scoping, because they anchor the payback math. Schedule impact is the second planned gain: project managers regain Primavera P6 and Procore access in minutes instead of hours, so RFI response cycles stop waiting on IT. Audit readiness improves as a byproduct, because every access request - especially those tied to prevailing wage compliance or OSHA safety protocols - is logged and traceable.
Over 12 months the benefit should compound. The triage hours your IT team recovers become capacity for infrastructure hardening and the system integrations that actually reduce project cost overruns. Fewer access delays mean fewer schedule variances, which shows up in project margins. The design target for helpdesk cost per ticket - modeled during scoping from your own ticket volumes and loaded IT costs - falls while SLA compliance improves. A planning model, not a claimed client result.
