Flash Research Assignment 3: Microsoft SharePoint
Our company should utilize Microsoft SharePoint immediately. SharePoint connects all users, employees or customers, through the same online platform to increase productivity. By implementing this technology, the PMPs will be able to increase their billable hours, and the company will see an overall net benefit of $1.8 million.
The key benefit of this technology is its ability to share documents between employees and clients. Users of SharePoint are now able to easily connect online from any device while using the password-protected platform in order to share project proposals, which will in turn cause them to spend less time managing documents. This sharing increases productivity and enables PMPs to increase their billable hours from 1,500 hours/year to 1,900 hours/year.
This cost avoidance strategy will allow our company a three-year benefit of $2.1 Million. The increased revenue will show a three-year net benefit of $1.8 Million. With the three-year implementation costs of $253 K, which stem from hardware, software and maintenance costs.
