5 Technology Based Business Solutions to Improve Your Business



Growing a business to profitable proportions in no over-night task. It takes more than the will to succeed - it also takes the right tools. But what tools does the modern business need to make the most out of every work day? How can technology step up to the plate and help us do business better?

Customer Relationship Management - If you have ever needed to reference an in office database while you were on the road, then you probably ended up calling a co-worker and owing them a favor as a result. With CRM software you have all of the access you would have sitting at your desk, only mobile. Now the sales numbers you were looking for won’t mean buying donuts for the guy in the cubicle next to yours!

The Video Call - Skype and companies like it have revolutionized the way businesses communicate, saved countless hours of travel time, and saved a ton of money for companies in search of a way to reduce their spending. With the video conferencing or video calls you maintain the in-person feel of your meeting, while reducing the headaches and cost of traveling to your client for the aforementioned meeting.

File Sharing - You have not managed documents until you have used a file sharing program like Dropbox. With typical documents you run into the trouble of keeping track of the latest version, or a loss of accountability as it shuffles throughout your office. Not so with a file sharing drop box. It allows you to manage the latest version, see who has modified it, and access it from anywhere with an Internet connection.

WiFi On-the-Go - In the fast- paced world of a small business, you cannot afford to stop into a cafe every time you need WiFi on the go. That’s why a small investment in a WiFi card may be a good choice for your business. These devices mean Internet access whenever and wherever. The benefit is obvious, especially if you travel as a result of your daily business.

Mobile Device - Nowadays you could run a small country from most mobile devices - which is advantageous for anyone trying to run a business from one. That being said, that ridiculous 90’s flip-phone you’ve been carting around just won’t cut the mustard anymore. Investing in up to date technology will greatly reduce frustration when it comes to answering email, accessing client info, and fielding calls.
