No one ever said running a business was as easy as 1-2-3. And while technology is designed to make our lives easier, we don’t always use it to its fullest potential. Do you know how to copy on both sides of the paper? How about attaching files to e-mail? And are your databases really doing what you need them to do, or have you limited the boundaries of your business to the capabilities of your software? Do your computer hardware and software work together, or is it a constant struggle to keep the system from crashing?
SBN has published countless stories about the business owners who’ve learned the hard way-purchasing the wrong equipment, misusing or under-using it or believing technology is the panacea that will save their business.

That takes work, knowledge and a well-developed sense of priorities. To help you set them, SBN has explored the most common areas in which the basic office systems are underused.
