May Sys Compares

Below are two matched proposals written in Markdown: one from the peer-to-peer system supplier, and the other from the dedicated server + Proxmox solution provider. Each reflects realistic justifications, acknowledges trade-offs, and is suitable for sharing with stakeholders.

  1. Peer-to-Peer Supplier Proposal (Markdown)

Proposal: Peer-to-Peer Setup for Sage 50 & Inventory Software (5 Users)

Dear Client,

We propose a cost-effective, easy-to-maintain solution to support your Sage 50 Pro and Inventory Management requirements across 5–6 user workstations — all using Windows 11 Professional.

This design avoids the complexity and cost of a dedicated server while fully supporting Sage’s multi-user features in a small-office setup.

💡 Summary

Peer-to-peer is an ideal solution for:

  • Small offices with 5 or fewer users
  • No need for concurrent remote access
  • Teams seeking simple maintenance
  • Cost-conscious deployments

If in the future you grow or wish to support remote working, we can migrate this setup into a full server environment without starting over.

Sincerely,
[Your Company Name]
Simple IT. Efficient Delivery.
