1 2 3 ... 789

I just read a "How To" article.  Most of what I read are information management topics.  As I read, I felt that it started slow and then skipped the middle and ended real fast. 

I am in the industry and I could understand what I was reading, but thought that if someone outside of the industry where to read this it would go right over their head.  The opportunity to connect with a potential customer or/and existing user was wasted.

So I would like to take a stab at a "How To" post.  I will try to keep it simple and cohesive.

How to start managing your organization's information with the technology of today.

  1. What technology exists that my company would benefit from?
  2. How much does it cost?
  3. How will the company manage and store this information?

I will list a few web sites that you may want to look up.  These are companies that help mange information.  (Probably faster, and cheaper than you do now.) Check youtube as well.
  1. http://www.box.net/   Video
  2. http://www.laserfiche.com/
  3. http://www.filebound.com/

  5. http://www.salesforce.com/  Video
  6. http://www.zoho.com/  Video
  7. http://www.lincware.com/  Video

Most of these websites have pricing info available on their website.  If they do not I am able to get you that info.

And to answer that last question of ...How will the company manage and store this information?
You probably have the hardware already.  You may want to look at the new hardware available.  Like an iPad or some newer smartphones.  Maybe a document scanner for your laptop or office.
For in-house server based solutions you may need to verify your computer's operating systems, space and speed requirements.

There is a whole industry dedicated to information management and there are companies out there the will listen to your specific needs.  They will come back to you with multiple options that will meet your needs.  This will cut down on your time and frustration trying to figure all of this out on your own.

Usually this consultation is FREE!  It would be worth a few meetings to get a better grasp on what they recommend and how it would work in your company.
