Profitability is less the measure of being able to turn a profit, and more the measure of how much profit you can make.

For the new company, however, it can be something even more critical: the difference between setting a course for success, or wallowing in failure. Today we analyze the cost difference between hosting your IT in-house, or choosing to host it in the cloud.

There is no question that a small business can benefit from technology, as has been proven time and time again. However, an issue can arise if a business bites off more than it can chew, so to speak, and ultimately creates a spike in costs.

In this blog, we’ll examine some of the implementations that can deliver a good return on investment to a small business.

Today, we will look at some technology implementations that many small businesses consider, and how the implementation will bring the best return on investment.
