Once the technology is Really Matter?

Once the technology is really important in today's world? Basically computer systems just work today, cell phones now work almost anywhere, with our mobile devices, we get all of our office communications now while we're on the road and. The technology does play a role? All the information flowing through cyberspace, through the ether until the copper, it does not matter how it comes to his goal?

For the small business owner who is trying to be a crack in emerging marketsMarket with a breakthrough product, the answer may be a plain old - NO. As a small business if I want to make a call, for example, I simply lift the handset and await a dial tone. Dial my ten or eleven digits and a conversation with my party at the other end. As my voice phone system enters and comes out of the ear piece at the other end is not important to me. The intelligence is about the technology that matters. At the end of the performance of thethe required and desired job is what matters. "The technology itself is necessary to support and strengthen the fulfillment process," says Zak McKracken, a managed services consultant in Australia.

Small business owners turn to the features and benefits compared to the actual technology. We find that an advantage of working from home for about loose ends, it is advantageous if a big selling point to emerging technologies like SSL VPN, where the usability and security is to be facilitatedare important prerequisites for the overall benefit of working remotely. However, the technology for a very good reputation "user friendly" to have joined them. Small companies do not want complicated that many small steps Business IT Consultant believe is necessary to secure a network for remote access, for example. The technique must be simple and effective, or the small business owner will not invest in them.

The shift in the SMB consulting community mustchange. When Dave says Sobel of Evolve Technologies in Washington, DC: "I sell value, not technology." This is what small business owners are looking for in today's strong economy. But companies today are still very careful where they will invest their technology dollars. You need a solution that offers everything they need, it has to be affordable and it is "better than expected to work," said Amy Babinchak of Harbor Computer Services, a Microsoft MVP in security.Solutions must have value are: full benefits and the employers offer a tool to assist it in carrying out their functions and services and will support competitive in the market. Small businesses do not endlessly IT budgets, they need to do more with less. They need reliable solutions that work without paying through the nose for IT support services.

Small business owners are now busy trying to stay one step ahead of their competition to worries about computerSystems. Those efforts have on their systems to make a reassessment of their business when they realize that they only lost a year setting up a server and workstations rather than relying on their range of products on the market. Small business owners who provide their own technology at the end into a trap because they have so much trouble on their own systems that they are trying their real prospect of losing business function.

IT consultants are preaching in their communities"That they should be trusted advisors to their customers," said Doug Geary of GearyTech in Toronto. "If you are in this position, you will find the brand / flavor of the recommendations is mostly meaningless." This is true despite the argument of many IT consultants. To a small business owner, it does not matter whether a server SATA, SCSI or SAS drives, they need only be able to securely store their data, reliability and above all with zeroDowntime. We see a lot of specialized technology consultants use their full attention to the data on a server, for example, the RAM is so fast, that means a spin at 15,000 RPM drives and RAID 5-this. " It is not important! If the server you are recommended to support the achievement of its objectives? If the answer is yes, then you have to do your job.

Where did the technology is the matter? It depends on the IT consultant who works on the expansion of the solution. It comes to people who havesupport. It is not really important for business owners. You want someone who is reliable, trustworthy and most important have available when they need the team or individual attention. The current owner is a lot of confidence in IT companies for them with a solution that would meet your needs and then they will be able to take care of it, and if they are not around on the street for some reason, somebody else must step and support, without alteration or gothrough a huge learning curve.

The real technology issues only to the IT companies. They are the ones who get to it to keep it inside and out, they are the ones that remain in order in advance of the technology curve and have the option to their customers when new solutions are available to the entrepreneurs, the life easier and / or inform profitable.

So, what is important to entrepreneurs? It has only work if they need it, always. Are benefits for their businessvery important, and features and "nice to haves" from around him. Business owners such as mainstream, well-known solutions. They want what their colleagues because they saw him at the gym, have lunch or on the golf course. When they ask, is it because they saw their colleagues with him, and perhaps it is a solution that his or her friend working from home three afternoons a week, or go to a school event and still have information from business come to them when they are away from theOffice. It is not the job of IT consultant in order to discourage the technology, it is the job of the consultant to embrace it and provide it. I often see business go elsewhere because the company ill-equipped to adapt to the changing needs of the customer or request, and the competitor could.
