*  Addressing your business requirements

Every good business sooner or later steps out of its "baby shoes" and stabilizes in the market it serves. During this time your business will experience a need for change to address the demands of your customers sooner, faster and with more quality. We understand that and are able to help you. But how are you to understand your personal needs if you don't know what is possible? Let me give you an idea of the questions you should ask yourself:
  • Does your business manage information about your customers
  • Can your office staff correspond with each other
  • Is your business able to use internet/email 24/7
  • Do you have a professional presence on the web for all potential customers
  • Can you share vital information such as scheduled appointments, stock levels and orders
  • Can you correspond with your customers/clients
  • Can you manage the flow of work in your business from home
  • Can you view vital statistics and business data from anywhere anytime
  • Are you automatically informed when stock levels are low, work is late or orders are outstanding
  • Do your employees understand your business processes
  • Are you able to implement changes in the way you do business quickly
  • Is the data your business manages secure
  • Is the software you currently use not good enough to capture all the information you need to manage
  • Do you use too many different software solutions to address all demands
  • Do you have proper reporting and statistics on all aspects of your company
  • Would you like to encourage a "paperless office"
  • Do you submit information about new products directly to your customers
  • Are your products able to attract the international market
  • Are you unsure of your software license requirements for existing installations
If any of the above is "touching the heart" of your business then please talk to us. Here is how we will help you:


1. Analyze the needs of your business on IT
  • Get to understand how your business functions and how you do business
  • Understand the customer/client relationships you have to understand how you manage the flow of information between them and you
  • Research how you use Hardware and Software to address your current needs
  • Come to understand how you network your information
  • Identify bottlenecks in the infrastructure of your business
  • Identify the requirements of your growing business
Once we completed analyzing your business we will discuss with you how we can help you and share our recommendations. The latter usually involve changes in hardware, networking and/or the development of customized software to maintain the data/information your business requires.

Depending on the options you choose we can then help you with the implementation of addressing your needs so you can improve how you do business immediately.



2. Development of a customized solution
Today's software market has many applications for managing information. However these solutions are always targeted at a general business. If your company is experiencing growth then that means you are likely no longer very general in the way you manage your business. Therefore we will offer to develop you a solution that is working for you and your business only. We will customize this solution depending on how your company addresses the daily needs of your customers. Developing this solution means the following:
  • Identify together with you every bit of information that you would like to control and manage eg.
    • Customer/Client Data such as Names, Addresses, Contact Details
    • Details about the businesses that you interact with horizontally
    • Stock Levels
    • Orders, Payments and Finances
    • Employee Information
    • Job Details such as who is working on what, when
    • … and more …
  • Develop a data model for a database that will keep this information
  • Recommend and develop a front end solution for managing and displaying this information
  • Connect your staff to this solution to enable capturing and management of your information by anyone authorized to do so
  • Connect you remotely to this solution or parts thereof to address your needs anytime anywhere
  • Connect your customer's via the Internet to this solution (if so desired) to enable online ordering, status checking etc.

3. Addressing the hardware and networking requirements
We can help you to connect all your computers to a local area network and to the internet to enable your staff to:
  • share important documents
  • manage information centrally
  • receive e-mails
  • connect to customers/associates via the Internet
  • provide access to a central business solution
To ensure growth we are able to supply you with computer hardware for your business. We will consult with resellers in the area to get you the best quality for price depending on your requirements.
