In the current economic climate access to real time information about your clients, your suppliers, inventories, schedules, projects, orders and finances is vital.
But how many companies have to wait at least one month after the event to get quality management data? By then it could be too late. Just as the internet has opened up a world of commercial possibilities for all types of businesses, so it also opens up alternative IT solutions that genuinely provide real-time data, virtually instant back-up and disaster recovery. There are fully integrated browser-based (and hosted) systems out there which can deliver a complete overview of any Business's activity and seriously challenge the 'traditional' ways of running IT. They are now as applicable to very small businesses as they are to larger ones and can operate in multi-location environments, cope with homeworkers and other non-office based staff, allowing Businessowners or management teams to have total control of their information.
Anybody looking for new software, about to upgrade their systems or who is in the market for the first time should consider a 'hosted' alternative to the mainstream. As the complete Company data no longer resides on individual PC's or main computers data is extremely secure.
BUT perhaps most importantly data is available at the click of a button. The most up to date Information is vital for companies and management teams and anything which improves the fast flow of accurate Company information must be something to attain. Those that have it have the best chance not only to survive, but to thrive - even in the current economic situation!
