Save Your Customers Money by Providing Business Hosting
Posted on Thu, Feb 11, 2010 @ 03:19 PM
Small and mid-sized companies routinely outsource on a number of fronts-from payroll processing and accounting to HR and inventory management. But many of these companies have not yet made the leap to cloud communication services-or taken the time to analyze their potential cost effectiveness. And while money certainly isn't the only reason for your customers to outsource their communications, it's a major factor as you help them evaluate savings opportunities and look for innovative ways to help them weather the recession.
Here's how you can impact your customers' bottom line by providing business hosting:
1. Reduce internal staffing commitments: Utilizing business hosting lowers labor costs by (a) freeing up IT experts to focus on mission-critical projects, and (b) reducing the need for personnel redundancy. As full-time staff members begin to shift their attention from routine maintenance and extraneous tasks to value-added undertakings, your customers will realize increasing profits within their own company.
2. Reduced capital expenses: If your customers gasp each time their capital budget comes up for review, business hosting may bring them a welcome breath of fresh air. In addition to saving manpower, outsourced communications reduces cash outlay for infrastructure, equipment maintenance and software/hardware updates. When your customers trust you with their email, voice, IM and social networking, we'll support you by employing the latest Microsoft technologies to deliver cutting-edge hosted communications options to your customers, while helping them avoid costly equipment expenditures.
3. Replacing fixed costs: With Chinook Hosting's communication packages that you can offer, your customers pay only for the support they need. That means they can replace fixed salary and equipment costs with variable costs, which are often lower and easier to manage.
In addition to downsizing staff and equipment, outsourced communications allows your customers to cancel unnecessary software licenses and sell off extra hardware. They'll also reduce miscellaneous costs, like employee travel expenditures.
Outsourcing their unified communications service to your company and Chinook Hosting allows their employees to conference over the Web rather than paying for pricey flights, hotels and rental cars. This small change can amount to significant company savings over time.
