Back to the Future for your Business
Are you looking at new technologies to keep your business ahead of the competition?
Does it seem to you that it takes a lot of time to understand new technology, and by the time you do have a grasp on something, new and improved products have arrived on the market. And this happens before you have even had a chance to implement the first product you considered for your business!
How does this leave you feeling? Frustrated??
The truth is, failure to understand, adapt and fully embrace new technology in your business can lead to only one thing, Obsolescence.
So what do you need now to assist your Business get up to speed today and KEEP it ahead of the technology curve? Read on to find out more.
There are a number of things I look for when researching new software for my business.
One of the most important features is online training.
I run a Small Business and the costs involved with commissioning a trainer to bring my staff up to speed is huge. Therefore, new software that provides the latest information online is a must.
I have found online video training to be the most effective means of training my staff.
I have both analytical and visual people in my workplace, so while I need a software provider who can give my staff the step by step procedures on how to get the most out of the software, I also need training that is effective for all types off employees. Online video is effective with both my analytical and visual people.
Another aspect that I look for is whether or not the software provides ongoing updates, and at what cost. The best way to overcome this issue altogether is to utilize software that is 100% web-based. This allows me to implement new software without requiring a Systems Administrator, large downloads, installation and configuration. With web based software, updates and improvements are released automatically. I find it much more convenient, particularly when you have a number of PCs in your business, or a distributed workforce.
Finally, I look for a product that can offer my business flexibility. I like to think that I am the type of employer who is approachable by my staff. If they are experiencing some sort of problem and find it difficult to make it into the office I generally offer my more trusted and experienced staff the option to work from home. Software that allows these employees to work from home is therefore highly regarded.
It's understandable that most small business owners find the process of evaluating new software and technology difficult, however, we do know it is a necessity if we want our businesses and our staff to thrive and grow.
I hope the tips that I have provided you with here will assist you in your search for new technology and enable you to make the required decisions before it is too late!

Bernard ReberBack in late 1992, MS Access hit the streets. About that time the company I managed needed new software to handle their growing client base and I decided to try this new product. I had little difficulty writing and adapting a database to suit us and discovered a hidden talent for programming. A business was born. With business studies and 25 years of management experience in three different countries under my belt, I could offer a unique combination of skills and my customers agreed. From these humble beginnings my software 'invoiceit' emerged in 1999 and has since been taken to 49 states (hello Wyoming, won't you join us?), all across Canada and more than 70 other countries. From the very beginning the program included cashbook accounting, the simplest form of keeping financial business records. The Dictionary.com defines 'cashbook' as "A 'book' in which to record money received and paid out". For 'book' substitute 'simple software' and that's what I'm about. Now I have published Simple Accounting, an inexpensive spreadsheet solution which even you can master. For just $14.95 it costs less than a takeout meal!

Leanne Hoagland-SmithAre your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website |
