6 Reasons Not to Build Your Intranet From Scratch

You may think it's a good idea to tackle your Intranet WebOffice project in-house. You may even be excited by the challenge. But why take this approach when there are so many reasons to avoid it? Read on to discover just some of the costs and pitfalls involved in building a WebOffice from scratch and learn how we offer a top quality solution without the pain!

Reasons Build it Yourself Fact Our Intranet WebOffice Fact
1. Money Unpredictable and uncontrolled costs

Initial costs to obtain necessary hardware and software as well as WebOffice application development can range from £8,000 to £40,000.
Maintenance and upgrade costs are unpredictable and ongoing.

Low Monthly Subscription Fee

One all-inclusive low monthly fee from £10 a month
No hardware or software to buy
Frequent automatic upgrades
Expert maintenance included

2. Time You can't build it in Time

Average build time from start to finish is about 6-9 months. And that's if it ever gets finished at all. By some estimates, more than half of all IT projects never even reach completion. And let's not forget the well-worn motto of every IT Director, "it always takes twice as long as you think it will."

3. Manpower Nothing but (intra) NET

Requires the TOTAL long-term commitment of many experts from IT to marketing to technical support. Redirects manpower away from your core business.

4. Integration Disjointed applications = needless frustration

Applications are often created in a vacuum and do not complement one another or work together smoothly. Absence of seamless integration stifles efficiency and productivity.

5. Maintenance More time, money, & manpower

Long-term operational success demands complex maintenance tasks like application code and data backup, software evaluations and upgrades, bug fixes, security checks, testing, etc. This critical responsibility is YOURS for the entire life of your WebOffice, 24 hours per day, 7 days per week

6. Support If you don't support it, they won't stay
