What’s in a system?

There’s lots of information on this site about the technical stuff we use to transform sites into amazing all-singing, all-dancing systems, and talk of ‘automated processes’. But let’s get down to the nitty gritty. What we can achieve for your business using all these programming tools? Where do we start? There’s so much to say.

eBusiness and eCommerce

If you want to do business or sell your services or products online we’ll build you a customised, customer-friendly solution. Although we don’t consider ourselves to be expensive, you’ll doubtless find cheaper web developers to build your site, but paying monkeys to get peanuts springs to mind. We promise to deliver exactly what you ask for - not a templated system that will be tweaked and ‘shoe-horned’ into your business.

Intranet management systems

Today’s way of doing business means the fast transfer of accurate information is essential, whether or not you’re at your own computer. An intranet is best described as an ‘internal’ company IT infrastructure that only employees or other authorised people can access to keep in touch with one another. With the right box attached you can log in using any device that’s connected to the Internet, from a PC to a Mac, mobile phone or Blackberry. And wherever you are in the world, you’ll be privy to live company information at the touch of a button and can track everything from stock levels to the movements of sales reps, and all-important profits and losses. If you’re a manager this means you can oversee and manage projects when you’re miles from your business: timescales, timesheets, appointments and ordering are easily organised with an automated electronic system. And if your workforce is home-based they’ll remain attached to and involved in your organisation at all times. Of course you can choose how much to reveal to people at different levels of your organisation.

Exit strategies

So your business is doing well and you’re thinking about selling it. The trouble is that all the most pertinent information is in your head - and the only one who understands your manual processes is you as well. So who will buy? We can help with an exit strategy that doesn’t just say ‘this is how we do business’ but shows it. A well thought out and carefully designed system can form the hub of your business and allow it to be managed with or without you. We can programme all your contacts into the system and automate processes so that a potential new owner can see themselves picking it up and running. Result? Your company becomes much more appealing.

There are other things too of course - but we have to stop somewhere or the page would never end. Just ask us about your own propositions and we’ll talk about the possibilities.
