AlphaIC[1] is a method for assessing the value of information technology (IT) investments that surpasses banal ROI analyses and looks at how IT affects an organization's intellectual capital.
The methodology was developed in 2003–2004 by technologist Paolo Magrassi and economist Alessandro Cravera, based on the observation of two ongoing trends: The two trends were merged in order to develop a ‘value of IT’ assessment methodology that go beyond simple return on investment (ROI) analyses as well as other existing methodologies, all unable to capture the true advantage provided by IT.
The methodology is copyrighted, however a simple and concise description, including that of its application in real-world organizations, is to be found in.
