Sage BusinessWorks

Every day, we talk with small business owners who have warning signs that their companies aren’t as efficient or profitable as they could be:

• They’re buried in paper
• Bottlenecks in processes or flow of information, especially when a “go to” person is busy or unavailable
• Time-consuming, error-prone manual procedures that could be simplified or automated
• Difficulty getting the information needed to make important decisions
• Wasting time waiting for their computer to complete reports or other tasks
• Redundant data entry — e.g. trying to manage their business with multiple spreadsheets and computer applications

The problem with each of these symptoms is that we get accustomed to them — and rationalize them — despite how stressful and frustrating they are. But their additive effects are very costly. It’s usually a wake-up call for business owners when they realize how their day-to-day problems and headaches add up to big losses in time and money (e.g. wasting as few as 10 man hours each week due to inefficiency can have annual costs that run into 5 figures).

It may seem easier to keep your current systems, regardless of how much you stand to gain by upgrading from entry-level accounting software to a business management program. A good consultant is a resource who will maximize your ROI by minimizing the up-front investment and helping with additional savings (through training, support, custom reports etc).

• Appropriate Training — helps ensure maximum ROI
• Comprehensive, Modular System — combines the power of 8 fully integrated modules; buy the ones you need now and add more when you need them
• Custom Reports — reduce the need for industry-specific add-ons (they are still available for special situations)
• Stable & Secure — reliable functionality, a solid audit trail and controlled user access
• Strong Support — from the Sage solutions experts at SWK Technologies
• Unlimited Database Capacity — size does not affect responsiveness; ODBC architecture gives other applications (e.g. Crystal Reports, Microsoft Access) direct access to your data
