Get It Done in Seconds Instead of Hours
Compared to computers, people are smart and slow. Compared to people, computers are fast and dumb. Effective
technology makes a business smart and fast. Think about all of the
repetitive activities that you have to do to run your business and
then think about the fact that a relatively cheap desktop computer
will not be at all miserable doing those same things at billions
of instructions per second. Almost any business process such as contacting
customers, purchasing, accounting, inventory control, and support
can be benefit from an automation solution. Business automation gives you more
of that all too important resource: time. It frees up you and your
staff to think of novel ways to run and grow your business.
Many computer programs that businesses use such as Microsoft
Office (Excel, Word, Access, Outlook), QuickBooks, Photoshop, etc.
can be easily programmed to do very complex and repetitive tasks.
Unfortunately, too many companies make significant investments in
such software without ever realizing its full potential. We provide
the expertise to let you harness that potential and get the most
out of your investment.
Eliminate Barriers with Integration
Some of the most powerful IT solutions involve tying together different pieces of technology. Integration comes in a couple of flavors. Usually it means connecting different systems (often from different vendors) so that they can talk to one another. For instance you may be thinking about upgrading to a newer system but may also be concerned about the information you have stored on the old (legacy) one. In that case it is possible to create a bridge whereby the two can communicate which should ensure a smooth transition. On the other hand, integration also involves linking different pieces of technology in interesting ways to solve business problems. Some examples include:
- Receive email alerts or text messages to your cell phone
when something changes in your inventory
- Automatically generate a brochure or update a website as
soon as you change something in QuickBooks
- View streaming video from your business to your smart
phone, PDA, or desktop computer
- Generate and mail marketing materials based on the
weather forecast
When it comes to combining technology in novel ways, we admit
that it's sometimes new even to us, but we're also geeky enough
to be excited about trying new things, often at a substantial discount.
