Traditional vs Modern Organisations
Is Your Business Showing The Signs Of Old Age?
Your business may be limited in its growth potential if the following scenarios exist:
- your business uses its accounting package as its sole client database or the primary record
- your business is reliant on paper based filing, printed documentation stored in lever arch or manila folders
- your business relies on internal hardware systems and in-house server solutions for "mission critical" applications and data
- your business depends on someone to run the backup, or does not backup, or suffers from data scatter (documents on PC desktops, emails in PST files, lack of centralisation of data)
Business Using Traditional Business Models:
- experience limited capability to managing the customer (and their data), data chasing, and low levels of information sharing
- experience long data retrieval times for customer data such as looking through paper filing, post it notes, non-centralised emails, document folders or contact lists
- rely on out of sequence, faded, hand written scribbled-on notes, and lost documents and data
- are open to risks with business continuity with data loss (mis-filing, fire or flood damage, hard drive failure)
Business Using Modern Approaches:
- are streamlined with departmental processes being connected and documents and data being shared
- take advantage of the capture of rich relevant customer data in all formats (electronic documents, hard copy documents, meetings, calls, emails, calling activities, marketing campaigns, etc) into the central repository
- enjoy "at your fingertips" retrieval times of customer data and documents by relevant staff
- offer complete mobility to the workforce to be anywhere to conduct their business
- are protected by role based information sharing (with read only, add, edit, and delete options)
- enjoy quick access to sophisticated and extensible reporting
- and a quick turn around time from disaster
- rely on automated backup solutions
