External benefits include the following. The SPAMIS investment has taken part in Gartner Technology research studies and the results have proven that the resources of the SPAMIS investment are highly efficient in serving number of customers, incidents and response times, and number of units per FTE. SPAMIS has performed extremely well when compared against both industry standards and Department of Labor overall. Because of the large number of users supported and the consistency within the system, SPAMIS staff has become very efficient at dealing with SPAMIS-specific deployments and issues.
Internal benefits include the following. Having the SPAMIS investment based in Austin, Texas, allows for savings that come from a less expensive cost-of-living, lower cost and better availability of real estate than in Washington, D.C.
