In most businesses, part of the work flow contains
the manual processing of information. This can be laborious and
expensive. Some of these processes can be handled better by using
your PC.
Without knowing it, your business probably already
uses a database based product. If you use MYOB or Quickbooks for
your accounting needs, or perhaps Outlook or ACT for your email,
calendar and tasks, then you are using a database based product.
All of the products detailed above can be customised. However, some
lack the reporting capabilities or cannot be modified enough to
match your business work flow. Sometimes your business workflow
can be altered to match the abilities of the software, but usually
there are gaps in the process leading back to manual processes instead.
Where business processes exist outside of the
customised software versions a tailored database is a better answer.
A tailored database can match your job processing,
capturing details, and collating information that can be used in
report creation and billing.
Workflow that works - that is using your
technology effectively!
