Before investing in information technology, buyers -particularly those in organizations keeping a close watch on the bottom line - demand to know what the return will be on the proposed investment. And given the high cost of many IT systems and services, that is not an unreasonable demand, particularly when the overall economy is in a downturn. In some cases, it's relatively easy to project the ROI for an IT investment. for a small to medium-sized business, the case for buying verses building an intranet is compelling. A reliable, customizable intranet service application, offers a company a full-featured solution, with flexibility now and expandability later. The ability to integrate the off-the-shelf solution with an existing intranet means that development time is not wasted, and custom applications can be created and deployed as needed. The ability to customize the intranet application ensures success in any vertical industry, while empowering a company with the immediate deployment of an intranet solution. Intranet application services also offer ease of implementation and use and a price considerably below what it would cost to build the intranet from scratch - both of which are critical factors for small and medium-sized companies and many other organizations.
