Whether you’re in the Dental, Medical, Commercial, or Industrial industry, there are always room for technological improvements within your company.

With the popularity of remote workforces at an all-time high and disparate teams worldwide, the way we consume technology, including print and imaging changes daily. Long gone are the days of hitting ‘ctrl Print’ to send a document to your dedicated desktop printer or to your network printer that the office shares. Today’s workforces create and share digital documents via email, social networks and cloud services at a rapid pace. This makes life much easier for many companies and also allows files to be transferred super quickly. In the olden days, remember having to ship documents via mail or ups? You would print the document, stuff it in an envelope, weigh it, add the correct postage and or label to the package and then wait for the post office or the UPS to pick it up. This not only is time consuming, but it could get “lost” and you are using a lot of paper and ink, which as we all know is not beneficial for the environment. Now all you have to do is upload and hit send, which is simple for the user, but also quick and these documents can reach multiple people within seconds.

These shifts in how we do business drive trends including major advancements in print management. In order to keep pace, enterprise organizations are implementing improved print strategies and print management resources faster than ever. In fact, aggregate enterprise spending on print hardware, software and services is forecasted to reach $160 billion by 2020.

In this day and age, having the best technology for your company is key. This helps keep your business organized and also can put you a step above your competitors. Many companies use technology to improve productivity among their employees, make communication easier via customers and the company and also to keep your company organized on all levels. It is a competitive world out there, so how do you know what the best fit is for your company?

There are many questions that you may need to address to make sure you pick the right technology to fit your company.

1. Think of your Companies needs, not wants. This can be tricky, but also very important. Many companies jump the gun and want the latest and greatest of certain items. But is this really the most beneficial for the needs of the company? Since technology changes and new versions of certain items come up so rapidly, think about where the new item would benefit your business. For example, cell phones are always adding newer versions constantly. If the only feature that changed is the device is a tiny bit smaller, is it really necessary to spend the money to upgrade your phone? Fact check before jumping the gun to the next device.
2. Choose Technology that helps you grow. Since technology changes so often, invest wisely. We all know that purchasing technology can be pricey, therefore perform you research when buying. It’s not a bad idea to look up similar businesses and see what they use. Check reviews, get feedback from others and list the pros and cons of each.
3. Make a list of what areas of your company needs improvement. It is a good idea to make a list of each department and jot down ideas of ways that it can be improved. Is there outdated equipment and or software that is slowing down your employees? Common departments that could be analyzed are: Accounting, Human Resources, Customer Service and Technology departments. Are there old databases, phone systems, computers, etc. The main goal is to think of ways your company can improve workflow and meeting the customers needs.
4. Have an alternative plan. Always have a back up of files, networks, websites, etc. Technology is not fool proof and it cannot be the only thing you can rely on to run your business.
5. Have Support. It is important to know the support you will get one you purchase your technology. You may need this is something goes wrong. That is why it is best to either have someone on staff or know the resources that are available for you when you purchase.

All of these items will help you begin the process of choosing the right technology for your small business. It is important to research, check reviews and also ask people in similar fields what they use and how it works for them. Technology is suppose to be a bonus, not a headache. We are here to assist with all of these needs! Feel free to contact us today!
