Small Business IT Challenges
You need an enterprise-class IT infrastructure and secure collaboration tools, but options are limited:
– A Microsoft Windows-based solution seems to be your only option, but it's expensive and offer poor ROI
– Open Source and Linux-based alternatives are complex and more difficult to support
– SaaS options exist, but offer less flexibility and raise security and privacy concerns
