You’ve heard it all before—better performance, greater scalability, lower maintenance. And while it’s all true, that conversation has gotten… tired. 

So instead of talking about the cloud, let’s talk about your budget. 
Because chances are, 30% of your IT spend is tied up in infrastructure, support, and systems that no longer serve your business the way they should. 

And once you see where that money’s going, you’ll see just how easy it is to reclaim it. 

The Hidden Cost of “Owning” IT 

If your business is still running on-premise servers or managing your own ERP environment, here’s what you’re really paying for: 

• Physical hardware (and replacing it every few years) 

• Licensing fees for every layer—OS, VDI, SQL 

• IT staff or vendors to maintain and troubleshoot it all 

• Energy bills and physical space to house servers 

• Backups and disaster recovery infrastructure 

• Unplanned downtime and the productivity loss that comes with it 

And that’s just scratching the surface. 

Now ask yourself: how much of that spend is tied to business growth—and how much is just keeping the lights on? 

CloudFour Hosting: The Shortcut to Smarter IT Spend 

At ICG, we built CloudFour Hosting for one reason: to simplify IT and give businesses their budget back. 
Here’s how our clients are saving up to 30% on their IT costs—without sacrificing reliability, security, or performance: 

• No more hardware to buy or manage 

• Licensing included (IT, VDI, SQL) 

• Fully-managed infrastructure—24/7/365 

• Redundant systems and disaster recovery built-in 

• Support desk for your users 

• Scalable infrastructure that grows with you—only pay for what you use 

It’s not just about “moving to the cloud.” 
It’s about reallocating dollars from maintenance to momentum. 

So… What Could You Do with That 30% Back? 

Here’s what some of our clients have done: 

• Hired new team members to support growth
• Invested in customer experience technology
