Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tangible benefits are those that can be quantified in financial terms with a high degree of certainty. A benefit measured in dollars is a good example of a tangible benefit. Intangible benefits cannot be easily measured in financial terms, while qualitative benefits refer to non-financial benefits and cannot be easily quantified. Operational benefits and profitable benefits are not commonly used terms in the context of measuring benefits of information systems.
