1.) Increased Revenues If your people can be more productive and collaborate with others, innovating at a pace greater than your competitors, this offering contributes directly to the top line.
2.) Decreased Expenses Given the hosted nature of this offering, the freedom to add people and functionality as fast as your business requires it, it saves you the implementation costs of new infrastructure, roll out, training and on-going care and feeding of a collaborative network. You don't have to configure firewalls or networks or work with multiple vendors to get people working together rapidly. And, isn't it all about speed to results right now? How long would it take you to deploy and secure a complete collaborative environment? How much would that cost, up-front costs for hardware, software, consulting, the ongoing operational costs? How much easier would it be to identify the people on the team, go to one place, register them with a per user per month charge and - get to work?!? When the projects done, fold up your tent and go home. Your IT team doesn't have to figure out what to do with the infrastructure with just built out.
