My belief is to siphon the water off the outside of the house. Looking at the puddle, you could do yourself a lot of good if you could dig a shallow ditch and get rid of the water. Don't underestimate how much scratching a trench with a garden hoe will dry your cellar..
I am tempted to dig down to the footing on the low side of my house and run some drain pipes to carry the water away. Year round there is standing water in my sump pit that is just below the slab. Since I did my first repair, the sup pump hasn't run once (12 years) so there isn't really a rush to get it done...
