We believe that all companies should evaluate cloud computing/cloud applications when planning to implement software applications, but specifically companies that historically have demonstrated a good Return on Invested Capital (ROIC). Companies that know how to double their capital investment every 4–5 years need to give cloud computing serious consideration.

The reason – businesses do not need to use their hard earned capital to purchase hardware and software. Instead of using capital to purchase hardware and software, companies can re-invest that money back into their business.

When growing companies implement on-premise applications, they design infrastructure to support projected future growth forcing businesses to purchase significantly more than they currently need. Cloud computing gives companies the flexibility to purchase only what they need, when they need it, for as long as they need it.

Let’s get back to the financial benefits of cloud computing versus on-premise solutions. Consider the following example which illustrates the financial benefit for a company that is going to implement a CRM solution for their sales and marketing organization. Let’s assume the following: (more…)

As the economy remains weak, and IT budgets suffer, doing more with the infrastructure you have has never been more important. But investing in antiquated networking infrastructure, storage, servers and bandwidth may not help you reach your strategic goals.

Here are some of the ways I-Evolve’s solutions can help your company reduce costs:

• Reduce or eliminate complex, outdated branch office IT infrastructure, software to back up, patch, protect and the time to manage by consolidating servers.
• Reduce or eliminate your outsourced server management costs at branch offices.
• I-Evolve will consolidate your servers at our Data Center to help avoid degradation in end-user application performance. This can also reduce your investments and operating expenses.
• Improve your business continuity process by accelerating backup and replication, which means shorter RTO and RPOs across longer distances, without adding more expensive bandwidth.
• Reduce power and cooling requirements by better utilizing fewer centralized servers through consolidation.
• Reduce facilities expenses by making enterprise applications work for home-based workers as they do at headquarters allowing more people to work from home.

Doing more with less

From networking to storage, data centers to mobile workers, we can help you get as much as possible out of the investments you have already made over the last five to ten years. In fact, we can actually help you do more with less: fewer servers, less storage, less power consumption.
