Business Preservation

In 2010, online consumers spent nearly 1 billion dollars a DAY! That means 10% of all retail purchases are completed online and this number has been steadily increasingly year after year. Online stores are open all day, every day; selling to consumers as well as businesses at ever-increasing rates.

In order to keep up with consumers - both online and offline - businesses must have a streamlined and efficient process for taking and fulfilling orders. Businesses also have to have ways of accessing customer and employee information, managing inventory, tracking marketing and advertising, keeping up to date with financial reporting and recordkeeping, driving day-to-day operations and more. A hundred years ago, this was done with pencil and paper by shopkeepers staying up late at night to meticulously record all of the purchases that day. Here in the 21st century, businesses all over the world are leveraging web technology and custom software applications to manage every facet of their companies from employee parking to high-level financial statements.

To keep your business alive and running, you need to be thinking long-term about where your company is going to be 5, 10, 50 years from now. And if technology has changed this much in just the past 5 years, imagine where it will be 50 years from now.
