Should you use a hosted solution?

Below are few questions one should ask before going to the clouds...

Ask yourself:

And the answer is...

1.

Is it worth it, money wise?

Let calculate a "Per Sit" fee: Say we take a 10 sits x $100/Sit a month.

Now you're at $1,000 monthly fee, $12,000 annually.

You've simply added a new partner to your business, whom is taking his share right from the top of your receivable stream.

Should you do this?

2.

Is it worth it, hardware wise?

Well, guess what: Say we take the same 10 sits from the line above, right? They still need 10 computers, who are connected through a network into the Internet, using same old router and modem, and if you know what is good for you, you'd have some server as well to store company's data and control your computers.

Sound like even though you're still need in house IT guy, are you not?

3.

What if times turn bad (every responsible business owner should make plan for rough times) and you would not be able to make your monthly? Would you still be able to use your hosted solution or they will shut the valve on you?

No, you would not be able to use the hosted solution, and yes - they will shut the valve on you, dragging your company to the drain. That is right - your entire business database will not be accessible to you. Not even a backup. You'll be completely paralyzed.

4.

Would you add a partner to your business?

If you're using a hosted solution - you've just did. Yet another partner, alongside the IRS :-) that takes its share right from the top of your receivable stream.

5.

Your hosted solution is a company just like yours, who tries to make a living, and sells cutting age technology. But what if things don't work out for them? What if for whatever reason they cannot provide the service or accept your payments?

Guess what... You're going downtown with them. You actually subjecting your success to their success, for better or worth. Would you do that?

But then what would you tell your friends when asked if you're on the cloud?

You'd proudly tell them that Yes, you are, and for FREE, and not only is your business system is on the cloud, but your entire computer as well. Simply search for Chrome Remote Desktop, follow the simple instructions, and in no time your entire computer is on the cloud.
