We have over a decade of SharePoint experience and have worked with a lot of organizations in various domains, even before starting Hubfly. Every single organization we have worked are much clear about what an Intranet could offer with respect to communication or collaboration they have a lot of misconceptions, which we have discussed earlier in our blog.

But with the recent developments in Cloud and new features added to Office 365, it is now easy even for small organizations to reap the benefits of an affordable pricing. In today’s article, we shall discuss the top 10 reasons why Readymade Intranet is the best solution for your organization.

After All, What is Readymade Intranet?

Readymade Intranet is an ‘Intranet in a box’ solution that comes packed with set of business apps and all the basic features of an Intranet like Content Management, Collaboration & Communication tools etc.

There are lots of vendors offering Readymade Intranet solutions and Hubfly Digital Workplace is one of them. Hubfly has a ‘Plug-and-Play’ solution deployed on SharePoint/ Office 365 as a SaaS model, obviating the need to create an intranet from scratch.

When we say, Readymade Intranet is the best for SMB’s, we have reasons. Let us discuss those now.

#1 Affordable Solutions

Small and medium businesses often think setting up an Intranet would attract large upfront costs and ongoing maintenance in addition to other expenses.

But if they opt for a SaaS model, they eliminate all upfront costs instantly and pay only a small recurring monthly fee for using the services. That is where SharePoint readymade intranets makes sense.

You get the same setup for a fraction of the cost. Also, you pay only for the services you use and the number of users you have. If you choose a readymade intranet package that has only the features you need as opposed to an enterprise grade intranet solution, you need not worry about the cost as it will be most affordable even if you are too small.

#2 Offers Scalability

Irrespective of the size of your organization, you would be looking for solutions that are scalable. At the same time, you might think that most of the readymade products are not scalable.
