    Let’s use a simple analogy
                                         Say you just moved
                                         to a city, and you’re
                                         looking for
                                         a place     to live

                                You can either

                                Build a house or
                                Rent an apartment

                      If you   build a house, there are a few
                      important    decisions you have to
                      make…

          Once the house is built,

          you’re responsible for         maintenance
             Hire Landscaper
              Heating and Cooling


          Pay property tax
                            House Keeping

            How about                 renting?

Small Business Cloud Computing/ Page 10

           Consider a builder in your city builds


           a   massive                    number of apartment units




Small Business Cloud Computing/ Page 11

              A unit can easily be converted
              into a 2,3,4 or more units

                                          You make a fewer,

                                          simpler
                                          decisions
                                          You can start with one
                                          unit and grow later, or
                                          downsize

                                                  But…
                                          You do not have
                                             a lot of options to
                                           customize your unit

                                          Just pay your rent
                                                   and utilities

             •    51% of internet users who have done a cloud computing activity say a major
                  reason they do this is that it is easy and convenient.
             •    41% of cloud users say a major reason they use these applications is that they

             DECISION MAKING

             •    Are you at a point where a change of some sort is necessary? If so, you must
                  decide on a direction. If not, you may choose to wait if you are not incurring
                  significant cost or productivity loss by staying in your current situation.
             •    The external one-time implementation costs – hardware,
                  implementation/migration costs
             •    The ongoing costs - monthly hosting fees vs. support staff salaries or consultant
                  fees, etc.
             •    Availability of staff to provide support and network administration
             •    Availability of facilities to house on-premise servers
             •    Desire to share information across geographic boundaries and related costs -
                  travel, telecommunications to connect multiple offices, etc.
