The problem with a 20 user company is that to buy all the hardware and software listed, you end up with (and pay for) far more capacity than you need. Other than the CAL's, the the system you spec'ed out could handle a lot more than 20 users and the excess capacity is just going to waste. It would take more math and research than I feel like doing right now, but I think you could probably come up with some numerical threshold over which you would have to go (in terms of numbers of users) before having your own internal system makes any sense.
The other factor is that a 20 person company probably doesn't have much, if any, resources in terms of internal IT staff to maintain the system. That also drives a company of that size to look at hosted solutions. - Posted by: cornpie Posted on: 01/31/08 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
