Budget Thoughts<\/h2>\n

Budget Thoughts<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As we head towards Q4, both businesses and governments will be looking at their costs to date and their costs for next year. As we mentioned in last September’s newsletter, one way of controlling your project costs is to use Work Breakdown Structures (WBS)<\/a> with costings associated with each element. Those costs are for the actual implementation of the elements of the project, materials or labour. However, every business has base running costs associated staff, buildings, machines and software.<\/p>\n

Running Costs<\/h3>\n

How do you plan your yearly costs? What does your jurisdiction count as capital investment and what as running costs? Need a fixed price for a fixed period of your project? Do you have an IT department that is more wrapped up in red tape than a red billiard ball in a tin of red paint within a red (reusable of course) red carrier bag? Don’t like the installation cost of keeping up to date with the latest versions of software.<\/p>\n

If the answer is ‘yes’<\/em> to any of the above, then SaaS could be the way to go.\u00a0 3SL is hard at work putting our hosted software service provision together. Watch out for further announcements.<\/p>\n
