Background

Thoughts on DIY

The Process – Bill Skinner

Customer Successes – Ben Tosado


DIY vs. Hiring Professionals

Implementing UC is a lot like installing a Pool:

• Do it yourself (It’s just digging a hole and filling it with water, right?)

• Requires special tools, knowledge and plenty of your time to complete.

• Least expensive



Outsource the entire effort:

• Hire a professional for construction, seasonal startup/closing and weekly chemical testing, vacuuming and all maintenance.

• No prior knowledge, no specialized tools

• Most expensive.



Hybrid Model:

• Hire out construction & seasonal startup/closing

• Do your own weekly maintenance

• Requires some knowledge and basic tools


Making the Decision?

Considerations:

• Capital vs. Operational Expenses?

• One-time effort or an ongoing effort?

• Control?

• Training costs?

• Specialized equipment/software/tools

• Time to completion (and cost savings)?
