In-house vs. Outsourced Solution:
Benefits of Hosted Windows SharePoint Services
Small to medium companies are starting to see clear
advantages of hosted application delivery for software
solutions like Microsoft's Windows SharePoint Services. Even large
corporations recognize the benefits of outsourcing.
According to Gartner, outsourcing will continue to be a significant trend in the years ahead.
The financial investment and overhead of owning and
maintaining servers and software applications in-house
is substantial. By outsourcing, SMB's can now
reap the benefits that up to a just few years ago were
reserved for large corporations, plus added advantages:
- Low cost-of-ownership and cost predictability
- Immediate deployment
- Scale up or down as needed, with no risk
- Anytime, anywhere access to information
- Business-class collaboration
- Secure and reliable performance for the highest
productivity
Small and medium businesses now recognize the following
facts:
| |
SMB’s In-house Implementation |
Outsourced Solution |
| Financial Investment |
Large financial investment,
often thousands of dollars, for hardware, software licenses,
IT resources and more. Unpredictable maintenance expenses. |
Initial costs are minimal. No need to purchase
hardware or software; no need for added IT personnel.
Ongoing fees are low, predictable and easy to budget. |
| IT Resources |
Requires dedicated IT
resources.
Managing a typical portal for a medium-sized organization
takes most of a senior technician's time.
|
No
dedicated IT resources required. User maintenance
and portal configurations
can be performed by a non-technical person. All system
management is performed by the provider. |
| Deployment and Security |
Average 30 days to
deploy an in-house collaboration solution with
dedicated staff. Constant vigilance required to combat
intrusions. |
Get
started in minutes with shared environment, a few
days more for a dedicated solution using your own domain and
SSL. |
| Reliability and Maintenance |
Lack of redundancy and
bandwidth, poor administration, delay in upgrades - any
of these can cause security and performance issues. Server
crashing and interruptions cause business delays and
loss of productivity. |
Updates performed in timely manner by trained experts.
Quality of service is guaranteed by SLA and
24x7 system monitoring. |
