Consider how much it costs your business to run your own in-house (on-premise) SharePoint server
Have a look at this typical example for a business that runs its own Microsoft Lync server within the office for up to 10 staff:
So all up in this pretty small and simple example you are look at spending approximately $17,119 up front and then another $7,279 per year
Now compare this to the affordability of using the INVIDIA Hosted Lync service (in the Cloud)
A 10 Enterprise users plan costs $199.50 per month, costing you a total spend of $2,394 for the whole year and without all the headaches of buying, installing and maintaining your own hardware and software
The INVIDIA Hosted Lync plans can be packaged as an add-on with a Hosted Exchange plan. By packaging some or all of these products together your staff are able to access all these services with the same login credentials, and features like the Corporate Address book are shared between all the products. You also access lower Lync plan prices when you package this as an add-on with a Hosted Exchange plan.
