Computer technology........ The future of the job market in the United States.

As we begin to dig our way out of the recession it is apparent that the job market is changing rapidly. For individuals finishing college, there are fewer management jobs per capita as companies are having to cut costs. Many lower level jobs are being filled by illegal immigrants leaving "slim pickings" for high school graduates. There is a lot of potential in the area of applied technology. With the Internet and the ability to do business online, many companies are finding ways to increase production by applying computer technology to their existing business models. Computers are getting more and more powerful every day and we have barely scratched the surface when it comes to what they are capable of. The challenge is finding good programmers and technicians to put the new technology to work.  This involves a good comprehensive knowledge of the workings of the business at hand. Equally important is how to translate this knowledge into a form that the computer can process. The output may be in the form of data, graphics or a combination of the two. The objective is to translate the technical aspects of a project into information that can be easily comprehended by workers who need not be experienced in the these aspects of the business. Just as Henry Ford started using assembly lines in the auto industry, companies can increase their productivity if information is presented to employees in a fashion that is easy to visualize and understand. Many companies are built on people that have skills that they have acquired over many years of experience. The challenge is to create an environment where they can use their skills to input information into a computer and the program can process their input into information that makes it simple for other workers to implement. Some highly skilled people may say "I can do that job just as fast the old way" and that may well be true, but if a company can keep its highly skilled employees providing a steady stream of work for its high output employees, they will maximize efficiency and profits. Another benefit is the unmatched accuracy that is achieved through the use of a well written computer program. Any business can benefit from computer software not just for its accounting and scheduling but also for its production as well. The possibilities are limited only by the imagination. The demand for computer programmers will only increase as technology continues to evolve, and the list of fields that can benefit from computer technology is never ending.

Mark attended Virgina Commonwealth University and the University of North Carolina at Wilmington while working towards a career in computer programming. In 1985, he became interested in building construction and opened a construction company and a plumbing company in Wilmington, NC. In an effort to maximize productivity during the housing boom, he discovered the need for a simple computer program for inventory management, estimating as well as some CAD capabilities. After seaching to no avail, he went to work on just such a program and started Epiphany Software Corporation in 2005. he is now devoting his full attention to building a top notch company serving plumbing professionals of all kinds from workers in the field to students. He feels that there is increasing opportunity in applying new technology to fields that have, up to now, been left behind.

Re: Introducing a US franshise to a Canadian market Re: Introducing a US franshise to a Canadian market - When franchisors begin to expand outside of the United States, Canada is one of the first areas they consider because: 1. Similar culture 2. Same language in most of country 3. Some provinces require registration, but it is not considered too difficult. 4. An economy that generally mirrors that of the United States (may be different currently) The main cost for a franchisor would be contracting a Canadian franchise attorney to convert their legal documents to meet Canadian law, then reprinting their marketing material. If a person sees a franchise they like, that is not currently in Canada, they might approach the franchisor and ask about becoming an area developer for the franchisor. I don't think that most franchisors would not sell a master franchise in Canada, in which the franchisee takes over the entire country, because Canada is such an opportune areaa, but by becoming an area developer the new franchisee could have the right to develop/sell several franchises in a given area.
Re: Looking for business partners in travel and telecom areas Re: Looking for business partners in travel and telecom areas - Michael, In order to help I would need more detail. Travel and Telecom are pretty broad categories. I develop and design websites and I could help but not without a lot more information on what niche's your targeting. For example are you trying to just target people in and around Chicago or the whole United States.
Re: Introducing a US franshise to a Canadian market Re: Introducing a US franshise to a Canadian market - I can say that a lot of internet brands that are NOT in Canada have been slowly expanding there. NewEgg.ca (prominent computer retailer) has recently setup in Canada. Their US site never shipped internationally. They will see continued success because while they only operated in the United States, we got to awe at the prices you guys got away with. Similarily, ThinkGeek.com should really make the move north as well. Right now, your shipping costs outweigh any product costs if you order from them and ship to Canada. It is integral (in my opinion) to have the trans-American market at your fingertips. We are so deeply connected through media, culture, sports, arts, politics, etc.
