Redefining an office means different things to different people. For some, it means changing the furniture to offer an updated look, or introducing cubicle partitions to accommodate more people. To others, it might mean adding a communal kitchen to encourage better intra-office communication, or a child care facility to help workers conveniently manage or even extend their work day. While these are important improvements, they overlook the real...more
Every business, regardless of its size, needs to have a solid understanding of its customers and business-related documents in order to make good decisions. Unfortunately, business owners don't have a central intelligence agency to provide insightful advice or enable management to make proactive, informed decisions. However, small businesses can have access to their own version of a well-informed "CIA" that does the work of intelligent search and retrieval behind the scenes, provides them with real-time information, and helps them to succeed. Secure information Capture, Indexing, and Access give a company's pre-designated individuals and groups the right to access, view, annotate, and/or act upon all of an organization's mission-critical business information that is needed to perform tasks accurately and efficiently. It helps staff to maximize productivity, and ensures that each person's skills are used wisely rather than for the endless paper chase.

There are lots of advantages to working at home; the most obvious is not having to commute or adhere to a dress code. The savings in terms of the cost of gas, wear and tear on a car, insurance premiums, dry cleaning and other clothing expenditures is truly significant. And for many work at home individuals there is the ability to maintain a schedule that is better suited to an individual's lifestyle (unless, for example, customers or networking requires you to maintain regular work hours). If you are running your own business at home (instead of just telecommuting), then the use of virtual assistant services will grant you the freedom to work whenever you want. For those who have children, it is nice to be there when they come home from school (not to mention you will be there to witness "firsts" e.g. the first walk, talk etc.).In addition to these advantages, a home based business which has a dedicated area in your home can be used as a deduction from your income taxes (check IRS rules). Other business expenses apply to your home business office as well.Because of the economy, many people that did not originally plan to work at home now find themselves in a position to consider...more
