A fellow blogger (Terry Cutler) suggested asking the best group of experts we have on AMT/ vPro about ROI and what you have discovered from the use of this amazing technology in your production environments. I would love to hear from anyone with a proven ROI analysis of their implementation of AMT / vPro.
My hope is you can show how security, power savings, desk side visits, asset inventory, etc have been positively affected as you have activated AMT / vPro. A general background on the environment, your industry vertical, and of the vPro implementation. Post online for all to see and / or send your information to brian.d.brougham@intel.com. The information will be kept confidential, if requested.
Looking forward to the awesome story's, I know are out there... Show us yours!!!!

Adding my 2 cent here - and hopefully your ROI is more than 2 cents.
We have analyst based studies pointing to savings of up to $230 per system per year at the high-end, $50 per system per year on the low-end. The wide range is due to difference in manageability and security requirements of a Intel vPro desktop vs. an Intel Centrino Mobile laptop. The savings are mostly attributed to reduced deskside visits or in approved response times. However, there are ancillary benefits that may also apply to your environment.
Some key testimonials heard from customers and partners I've worked with include references to items such as:
- Improved asset trackinglocating. This becomes especially important for outsourcing or contracted service where the number of units in the console or detected in the environment is related to the service contract.
Do any these sound familiar to your experience? Better yet - are there more stories to be told? We'd like to hear - post a response or send a note to Brian (see above)Lastly - if you are looking for more datapoints - check out the following:
