Web Office saves you money, time, and effort.
You may think it’s a good idea to tackle your Intranet WebOffice project in-house. You may even be excited by the challenge. But why take this approach when there are so many reasons to avoid it?
Read on to discover just some of the costs and pitfalls involved in building a WebOffice from scratch and learn how we offer a top quality solution without the pain!
1. MONEY: Unpredictable and uncontrolled costs
Build-It-Yourself Fact:
Initial costs to obtain necessary hardware and software to build it yourself as well as application development can range from £8,000 to £40,000.
Maintenance and upgrade costs are unpredictable and ongoing.
The Team Intranets Web Office Advantage:
One all-inclusive low monthly fee from £10 a month for WebOffice
No hardware or software to buy
Frequent automatic upgrades
Expert maintenance included
2. TIME: You can’t build it
Build-It-Yourself Fact:
Average build time from start to finish is about 6-9 months. And that’s if it ever gets finished at all. By some estimates, more than half of all IT projects never even reach completion. And let’s not forget the well-worn motto of every IT Director, “it always takes twice as long as you think it will.”

Get your Intranet up and running in 3 minutes
3. MANPOWER: Nothing but (intra) NET
Build-It-Yourself Fact:
Requires the TOTAL long-term commitment of many experts from IT to marketing to technical support. Redirects manpower away from your core business.

Frees up internal resources
Build your business, NOT your Intranet
4. INTEGRATION: Disjointed apps = needless frustration
Build-It-Yourself Fact:
Applications are often created in a vacuum and do not complement one another or work together smoothly. Absence of seamless integration stifles efficiency and productivity.

Integrated application suite
Maximum user efficiency
5. MAINTENANCE: More time, money, & manpower
Build-It-Yourself Fact:
Long-term operational success demands complex maintenance tasks like application code and data backup, software evaluations and upgrades, bug fixes, security checks, testing, etc. This critical responsibility is YOURS for the entire life of your WebOffice, 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.
The Team Intranets WebOffice Advantage:
Ongoing expert maintenance included
Frequent automatic upgrades
Removes the burden from the customer
6. SUPPORT: If you don’t support it, they won’t stay
