• No need to rent or purchase additional office space, purchase specialised software, keep it up to date and pay annual license/membership fees.
• No need to pay overtime to keep projects on schedule while you can make use of our highly-skilled technical staff for various specialised assignments i.e. spreadsheet development, creating power point presentations, etc., and even costly temporary staffing solutions can't provide that kind of consistency and reliability.

Do yourself a favour and measure yourself on the following fundamental investment ratio’s, which we all unconsciously consider or calculate on a daily basis but we seldom/never realise the significance of this and seldom/never put this into perspective:

ROI = Return on investment (Is anything that you invest in; business, equipment, staff, etc. yielding any positive returns? Do you see value for money?)
ROE = Return on Effort (Are your efforts fruitless or fruitful?)
ROT = Return on Time (Are the countless hours at the office paying off, while you become a stranger to your family?)
