A 1% time saving for a $100k/yr position is still worth $83/month. And accounting for overhead, someone who costs the company $100k only gets a $60k salary.

If you pay Silicon Valley salaries this seems like a no-brainer. There are bigger time wasters elsewhere, but this is an easy win with minimal resistance or required culture change



Yeah, but companies need to see the savings on the bottom line, in real dollars, before they are going to be spending $1000/seat for this stuff. A theoretical, or actual, 1-5% of time saved typing is most likely not going to mean you can hire fewer people and actually reduce payroll, so even if the 1-5% were to show up on internal timesheets (it won't!), this internal accounting will not be reflected on the bottom line.
