Why Your Business Needs DaaS, Not Just More SaaS

Let's talk about the bill. Microsoft 365: $22/user/month. Salesforce: $75/user/month. Zoom: $15/user/month. DocuSign: $10/user/month. Slack: $12/user/month. That's $134/user/month before your industry-specific tools, security stack, or backup solution. For a 50-person company, you're already approaching $100,000 per year — and growing.

Now consider what a managed DaaS environment from VulcanCloud actually replaces: one per-seat price, one vendor relationship, one support line, one security perimeter.

The Real Cost of Traditional IT

• Hardware refresh costs average $1,200–$2,000 per workstation every 3–4 years
• IT support costs $400–$800 per user per year for endpoint management alone
• Data breaches cost SMBs an average of $108,000 per incident
• Lost productivity from hardware failures costs an estimated 5 hours per user per year

The DaaS Economics

• Hardware savings: 60–80% reduction in per-seat device cost
• IT support reduction: Up to 70% less helpdesk volume with fully managed virtual desktops
• Security incidents: Near-zero endpoint breach risk when no data lives locally
• Onboarding time: New employees are fully productive in minutes, not days
• Business continuity: Power outage, flood, fire — your team is working from home in 15 minutes
