Hardware – Software Solutions

Powerful computers and software algorithms make it possible for businesses to conduct complex financial projections to help them make important business decisions that will affect long-term growth and sustainability.

Computers increase your productivity and, with a good understanding of the software running on them, you become more productive at everything you do. For example, once you have a basic understanding of using a word processor, you can create, store, edit, share, and print documents and letters. Each of these things was either impossible or much slower with all pre-existing technologies.

A swipe on a telephone app can be used to transfer money while traveling and WIFI can ensure that an employee working from home (or on vacation) can be available to review a file, take part in a business meeting or listen in on a webinar. Email ensures that important messages can be sent and received quickly, while online servers make shared files available to all employees, no matter where they are working.

Teams of workers can be connected through networks that span the globe, allowing them to share and edit documents, work on designs and send emails to stay in touch. Some of the advantages of computer application technology include easily scheduling meetings and booking conference rooms, sharing files instantly and conducting meetings through videoconferencing. When multiple devices are connected to the same network, employees can collaborate from different parts of the world at once, eliminating the need for any one person to be in the office.

Computers have made it much easier for people to start their own businesses online, and given rise to a whole new generation of entrepreneurs. With the advent of the internet, as well as online sales apps and point-of-sale software, it's become mostly unnecessary to have a brick-and-mortar location to be in business.
Websites such as Fiverr and Upwork have given rise to the gig economy. This makes it much easier for businesses to save money by eliminating the need to hire full-time employees, while also allowing freelancers to make a decent living, either on the side or as a full-time job.
