When a company decides to implement an intranet with OKRs, providers often highlight the initial development cost, but the monthly expenses are not always detailed. Beyond the investment in custom applications, there are recurring items that can surprise managers and IT leaders if not planned in advance.
At Q2BSTUDIO, we believe transparency is the foundation of any technology project. That is why, when designing an intranet with team objectives and OKRs, we not only deliver a fully functional web portal, but also create a cost register that clearly identifies periodic expenses: subscriptions to AWS and Azure cloud services, maintenance of integrations with ERPs like SAP or Dynamics, security updates, and ongoing support so end users can operate autonomously.
Artificial intelligence has become a common component of modern intranets. Our projects integrate AI for businesses through AI agents that automate searches, summaries, and workflows. However, the consumption of language models or the use of private endpoints can generate a variable cost. Therefore, at Q2BSTUDIO we offer a control panel where the client monitors AI spending in real time and adjusts configurations without relying on the technical team.
Additionally, cybersecurity and regulatory compliance add another layer of foresight. Secure connection via VPN tunneling, role-based access controls, and periodic audits are services that must be renewed or updated. Our approach combines custom software with cybersecurity practices and business intelligence services —such as Power BI— so that the intranet is not just a document repository, but a strategic decision-making tool.
In summary, a corporate intranet with OKRs does not have to have hidden costs if you work with a partner who anticipates them. Q2BSTUDIO details each recurring item from the start and offers optimization plans so that the return on investment is achieved in less than twelve months. If you are evaluating providers, we invite you to a free discovery session to review the scope and costs of your project together.
