customers, and one manager will get a desktop to manage all the data and sales
information. By using the VPN, the owner of this coffee shop can monitor and check
the details of employees' work at home. Due to these requirements, the coffee shop
need a sample, secure, and high availability network.

The most common type of benefit and a very broad category. It has a direct impact on
the revenue of the organization.
Revenue cost saving:
When systems are automated, this benefit is obvious as automation can save manual
process time. This benefit mean that organization can make some roles redundant or
relocate some roles to different department.
Hardware cost saving:
IT projects replace the existing hardware with new hardware which can be less
expensive. New hardware can require less maintenance which will result in cost saving.
In some cases, there could be saving by moving your application and data to a cloud-
based services which will reduce your hardware expenditure.
