Capital Investment

On-premise requires $75,000 upfront investment

Impact:

Moderate impact on capital allocation

Mitigation:

Consider phased deployment, leasing options, or cloud hybrid approach

Technology Obsolescence

5-year analysis period with potential technology refresh needs

Impact:

Hardware may become outdated, requiring additional investment

Mitigation:

Plan for regular hardware refresh cycles and consider cloud scalability

Operational Complexity

1 FTE allocated for infrastructure management

Impact:
