Gerry had trained many of their users on SharePoint, developed their Paperless Board Portal, and provided SharePoint support for 5 years. So when they needed this analysis, they knew they could rely on Lightlever for a quick project start up, and reliable results.<br \/>Gerry was tasked to deliver a Business Case that compared on premise to cloud-based servers. Analyzed were all aspects of cost, including implementation, support, licensing, and even power consumption. Gerry produced detailed calculations which compared Office 365, to SherWeb hosting, to on premise solutions over a five-year period. In addition, we compared the pros and cons of\u00a0<em>intangibles<\/em>, like security and reliability and scalability. The work was done transparently and collaboratively with GVHA. All aspects of this report development and delivery were on time and on budget, and GVHA was empowered with the information they needed to choose a hosted solution<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2aca762 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2aca762\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Client Testimonial<\/h5>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-065fe74 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"065fe74\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u201cwe found Gerry to be very easy to work with.
