Growing businesses today face escalating challenges in a rapidly changing regional marketplace fraught with international competition and the realities of globalisation. They no longer compete with just the companies in their own country or territory; now they must contend with regional competitors and those from around the world operating even from their “own backyards”. These pressures are driving down prices placing severe constraints on operating budgets and forcing companies to innovate, compete or die.

Consequently, growing businesses must adopt new, more cost-effective methods to win and retain customers, including those beyond their usual reach. This is complicated by the fact that rising travel costs discourage companies from sending salespeople to visit remote prospects and rising telecommunications costs are forcing companies to find creative and cost effective means to communicate via Live Meeting, Instant Messaging, Office Communicator, VoIP.

Many growing businesses are also permitting their employees to work from home. But this can be more expensive and less productive than desired, as remote workers may require additional technology requirements such as VPN, secure wireless broadband and the like in order to collaborate with their peers at work and continue to service clients efficiently and without interruption.

Other challenges revolve around the fact that knowledge work is less structured and perhaps less “structurable” than administrative or production work. Our Information Technology Solutions can be found in the following industries:
