What are Bonus services?

BluePoint’s Bonus™ Managed Services offer a proven, modular suite of solutions to help your business get much more for your IT dollar. With our proprietary Revolution™ methodology you will realize an immediate 30% - 50% reduction in your IT costs.

IT spending will slow down in 2009, but its continued growth reflects the critical role of IT and Information Technology to business performance, according to a 2008 Gartner press release. Global economic problems are impacting IT budgets. However, the IT industry will not see the dramatic reductions that were seen during the dot.com bust. At that time, budgets were slashed from mid double-digit growth to low single-digit growth.

Peter Sondergaard, senior vice president at Gartner and global head of Research said, “We learned that in tumultuous times, CEOs want their executives and managers to be advisors and counselors, not just great implementers of directions given to them." Organizations now view IT as a way to transform their businesses and adopt operating models that are much leaner.

Bonus™ Managed Services enable businesses to "adopt operating models that are much leaner", as recommended by Gartner, Inc. and other industry analysts. We would say its Revolutionary.

"What CEOs want now most of all is agile leadership. Leadership that can guide us through simultaneous cost control and expansion at the same time.”¹

Bonus™ services offers a number of compelling benefits

Low upfront costs: Companies avoid high hardware and software licensing costs as well as expensive implementation services associated with on-premise solutions, resulting in up to 50% savings.¹
Reduce IT costs by 50%: With no technology to maintain, IT costs associated with labor can be reduced by as much as 50%.²
Predictable costs: Your costs are always known, predictable, and manageable.
Fast deployment: Customers deploy within days, rather than weeks or months.
Enterprise-class infrastructure: Customers benefit from solutions delivered via secure, geographically dispersed data centers built for always-on reliability.
Focus on core business : Customers are able to focus on their core business and strategic initiatives rather than the routine of monitoring and managing their organizations’ IT and information infrastructure.
Continuous upgrades: Customers never have to worry about an upgrade again. Any enhancements and new functionality are included in standard monthly fees.

Think of Bonus™ Managed Services as a monthly utility. Most companies do not make huge capital investments to produce their own electricity. Instead, they outsource this function to a utility company. Bonus™ Managed Services apply the same benefits to help meet IT requirements.

Bonus™ Managed Services seamlessly integrate with existing on-premise systems in a simple "pay-as-you-go" subscription model. By eliminating the need to install, monitor, and maintain IT and Information Infrastructure, Bonus™ Managed Services eliminates expensive upfront licensing fees, software upgrades, lengthy implementation cycles, ongoing maintenance and support costs.
