Moving your software from on-premise to “in the cloud” is a cost-effective measure for most small and medium-sized businesses. The cost savings might surprise you.
Small and medium-sized businesses face some of the greatest difficulties in the open market. Margins seem to shrink and shrink, and many times it seems impossible to get an edge on the competition. While running a business, time researching the latest accounting software or CRM technologies is better spent elsewhere. With every improvement the competition makes, businesses have to respond in kind, or risk falling behind.
There are any number of reasons to move from an on-site software package to software solutions based in the cloud. The Software as a Service model (SaaS) reduces upfront costs, continuing expenses, business risks and security issues. Moving to cloud-based software may be the competitive edge a business needs. Still, many companies cling to the autonomy of on-premise solutions, at a significant cost. In the end, businesses who move to the cloud save dramatic amounts of money and are simply better protected, and more competitive.

But What Does a Cloud Based Solution Cost?
Of course, as each business is different, so is every SaaS solution. But as an example, below is an example of a small accounting department for five users. In this scenario, an annual cost of less that $27,000 includes far more than an on-premise scenario, before including hardware costs or space, systems, services, firewall and other security, network hosting, support and more. This particular savings would be more than an 85% reduction in annual costs.
A similar CRM model in the cloud is 1/10 the price of a similar on-premise solution.
