The computer is an amazing tool. It can make your business run smoother and organize many of the day to day tasks into an integrated system. The easier the programs are to use and the more they are tailored to "YOUR" requirements, the system they form enables you to "Take Care of Business" as BTO would say.
It is estimated that the typical MS Office user only uses a fraction of its capabilities. Why spend hundreds of dollars and use the system only as a supercalculator or transcription aid? The programs can do much more.
WORDTM Most people know you can type documents and letters in word. How about WEB pages? What about mail-merges? Linkages to ExcelTMor ACCESSTM? Why type the addresses in every time when they can come from a data file? These are only some of the solutions.
EXCELTM Spreadsheets are often used only as super calculators. The programming logic that is available to make automated decisions is often ignored. Let the computer do as much work as possible. By installing menus and macro logic, the spreadsheet becomes more like another team of employees and not just the calculator on the desk.
ACCESSTMOne of the most powerful tools available for any business is the integrated database. Businesses of any size can now use this tool to help manage their operations. Through combining the usage of customized TABLES, QUERIES, FORMS and REPORTS, day to day operations of any business can be organized in an efficient manner. By providing the information on the inputs available and the outputs desired, a user friendly database can be constructed that a person with limited EDP knowledge can use. If they can click on a button they can manage your information requirements.
POWERPOINTTM Learn how to make effective computerized presentations using the most advanced tools.
HTML These WEB pages were constructed by using HTML editors and source code. In conjunction with the use of editors, your businesses message can be brought to the world; and the world's responses can be brought to you. The editor can provide the basic capabilities and formats, but your business is unique. Customizing the page is often desirable. However, often you must understand source code to modify results for the page(s) to operate properly. Further, WEB pages can be used in conjunction with the other three programs to allow information to flow to your business without the use of telephone or other manual procedures.
