Do I need a computer?
Small business today faces growing inventory requirements, increased
customer expectations, rising costs and intense competition. Computers can
provide information that leads to better returns on investment. At the same
time, they help you cope with the many other pressures of your business.
Computers are not cure all's, however, and considerable care should be given
to: deciding if you need one, and selecting the best system (or personal
computer) for your business.
What about telecommunications?
All small businesses share some common functions: sales, purchasing,
financing, operations and administration. Depending on your individual
business, telecommunications can support your objectives in any or all of
these areas. In its basic form, the telephone (the terminal) and the network
(local or long distance) make up the basic components of telecommunications.
It is an effective tool that can easily change with seasonality and growth.
How you use telecommunications can affect how efficiently and profitably
your company grows in the future.
