Microsoft Publisher

It's a sunk cost so on easy projects there's a positive ROI.

Because it's not very good at creating long and/or complex documents we needed to obtain other applications to create long and/or complex documents.

It's just so not essential to what we do that the positive or negative ROI is negligible.

I have been able to create flyers and brochures that in the past we sent out to a marketing company and spent a ton of money on something I was able to do myself in minutes.

The quick and simple user experience has allowed us to create signs that are designed to keep people safe on our job sites. This is important because we take safety very seriously and sometimes need to be able to produce these signs in a matter of minutes so that the superintendent can safely mark off areas to avoid.

The program has taken the place of Word and Excel in many cases to make documents like proposals look more balanced and professional.

Don't really have a way to measure ROI in my industry (Religious organization), but let me say, Publisher is at the heart of the way that I do things. If I did not have it, then my productivity would be crushed and the ability to communicate with individuals within the annual conference would be greatly diminished.

Publisher allows me to produce quality, sometimes complex, documents in a simple and efficient manner.

It has been my go-to program for the majority of my communication needs for more than 10 years. It would be difficult to do my job without Publisher.

It’s just been helpful to create some basic documents

Creates nicer looking diagrams than a similar effort using Visio

Allowed us to created our own documents/educational material for patients. In previous practices I have worked we had to buy "pamplets and brochures" which were very costly.

Fantastic looking publisher pieces without high cost software.

Efficient for productivity.

No real learning curve.

Less time consuming

Positive because it comes with Microsoft Business Premium

Microsoft Publisher is easy to get into cost and time-wise
