We asked ourselves the question, “Is a cloud-based, turnkey intranet worth it?” We did our research and compiled a list ROI that’s broken down into savings and returns.

Savings

>$400k per year for a 500 person company. Got 1000 employees? Double these numbers.

1 Year To Roll-out

  • Average development time for a custom intranet is 17 months.1
  • This development time requires 3-6 staff of consultants at ~$100k each.1

For a well designed, turnkey, SaaS intranet the roll-out requires less than 1 month.

>$20k In Direct Costs

  • SharePoint = $21k license + $16k in hardware for onsite deployment.5
  • Jive costs $12 per user per month + $16k in hardware for onsite deployment.

A cloud-based intranet has low software and zero hardware costs.

3 IT Support Staff

3 full-time equivalent maintenance and support staff at $100k each. A well-designed, cloud-based, turnkey intranet uses zero IT support staff or salary.

Returns

>$3.3M for a $15M company.
