Abstract

We are living in another revolution since the Industrial Revolution. Some call it the 3rd Industrial Revolution, the Digital Revolution, the Information Age, the Digital Era, the Communication Technology Revolution, or the Technology Age. Regardless of what it is called, technology has evolved our world into a Global Marketplace.
I’m watching a mom and pop company strategize to transform the way they do business by preparing to adopt a software system to help them de-clutter, organize and handle the growing amount of business they are acquiring. They use cloud based software, but the capabilities are limited.
Some companies struggle to innovate and collaborate to the next level of business which involves them getting organized and taking the leap to improve their technologies. Improving company systems and process ultimately leads to the improvement of the company as a whole. And through innovation, by creating your own system or utilizing cloud services, a company can increase their bottom line, their market reach and their business operations. For some the inability to improve technologically will greatly determine their future.
