The rise of the Internet, the growth of more and more networked business processes, and the falling prices of computer technology have
created a stronger imperative for small businesses to utilize technology. Businesses are reducing their use of long distance phone calls,
fax machines, time reporting, expense reporting, contact management, and courier mail in favor of more efficient electronic communications.
Vast amounts of free information from periodicals, news sources, and businesses are available to those
|
who have access to the Web. For small businesses to remain competitive, they must continue to increase their use of technology and
fully exploit the efficiencies of connected networks.

While the recovery wobbles on, business owners continue to watch expenses almost like never before. Intelligent spending, effective partnering with IT professionals, and monitoring IT procurement decisions are driving successful small businesses.
Information Systems Associates (ISABIZ®) understands small business IT stresses and opportunities. We partner with our clients to ensure that they succeed. The changing nature of computer, LAN, eCommerce, graphics design, and data management can be overwhelming to manage alone. We understand this issue and stand ready to assist you in selecting, deploying, and maintaining your IT platforms.
The availability of tablets and smart phones, both generally more efficient and less costly than older technology, and the development of cloud computing options are changing the way small businesses approach their IT needs. Unless you’re into it, cloud computing is a bit of a fuzzy concept. At its simplest, cloud computing means your data are stored not on your own PC or laptop, or server, but on remote servers maintained by specialized providers — in the clouds, so to speak. Our primary goal is to "ensure our clients make optimal IT decisions".

Keep track of leads, prospects and sales is a huge challenge for any sales professional today. Many will develop complex mechanisms using files and spreadsheets and databases and dozens of other tools. When it comes down to it, one of the best ways to keep your leads and sales organized effectively is to look for tracking software specifically designed for sales. With a well designed sales tracking software, you can track leads and prospects and review and report on your sales.
You could go wild with features and functions in your tracking software, and many of those features would get used only rarely. As a sales professional, focus on the features that you will use on a daily basis. For most salespeople the following are typically the primary areas of use:
- Contact Management: An easy and efficient way to manage prospects and accounts.
- Sales Management: A simple way to track sales leads and opportunities.
- Sales History: An effective method for keep notes and tracking communication.
- Organization: A simple mechanism for centrally organizing appointments, tasks, opportunities and all related sales records.

DATA MANAGEMENT:
Despite a recent spate of natural disasters such as Hurricane Irene, which caused massive floods, power outages and untold billions in damages, more than half of small businesses (57 percent) in a new survey said they did not have a disaster preparedness plan for their business data.
The average small to medium-sized enterprise had three service outages over the course of the last 12 months. The leading causes of this downtime were determined to be attacks by hackers, viruses, natural disasters and power outages.
As such, Information Systems Associates (ISABIZ®) suggest that small firms take time to decide what critical information should be secured and protected. Customer, financial and business information, trade secrets and critical documents should be prioritized and protected.

DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT:
Document management software is designed to improve your business’s handling of electronic files. The problem is that many small businesses have to deal with mixes of old-fashioned data on paper and electronic files – and in many cases, the proportion of paper data is much larger. One solution to the problem of having a mixed data environment would be to use a document imaging system to convert all of your business’s documents to electronic form. But this is too expensive and time-consuming for many small businesses.
The good news is that you can put the basics of a document management system in place without purchasing special software or going through wholesale document imaging. Your document management system doesn’t have to be complex; you just have to invest some time in planning and implementing it.

This information will help you make informed decisions about how to improve your bottom line.
