As an entrepreneur, your spirit tells you to “do it yourself”. Why should software be any different? Hire the local programmer, give him or her a week to work on the job and you will have your IT needs met, right?

Wrong. MLM Corporate endorses MultiSoft’s ASP (Application Service Provider) approach to software for a number of very good reasons. The reason that initially will be most important to you is cost. Taking advantage of MultiSoft’s ASP service, where they provide the resources necessary for you to succeed, is more cost effective and efficient than attempting to develop software and an IT team on your own.

Use the calculator below to determine what the costs would be for “doing it yourself” vs. the cost associated with leaving it to the pros. Costs have been provided through a third party, salary.com, to ensure that the information provided is objective.

Leave the software to the pros and free yourself to do what you do best – recruit and make sales!
