Dewitt, NY November 1, 2010: As a part of its continued effort to provide the distributors and suppliers of gases and welding products with the most up-to-date and relevant technological information, the Fourth Quarter issue of Welding & Gases Today features an article from Tina Estes, a member of GAWDA's Management Information Committee and manager of Information systems for the Independent Welding Distributors Cooperative located in Indianapolis, Indiana. The article is called "Finding The Right IT Solution," and it focuses on the idea that a decade into the 21st century, information technology is a critical business resource.
The article poses a few basic questions to readers. How do you begin to know what the best technology decisions will be for your organization? Which choices will create the most value for your business as well as your customers? According to Estes, technology has traditionally been viewed as an unavoidable expense necessary to operate the administrative side of our businesses, nothing more than a data collector that spits out reports in the form of invoices and financial statements. The evolution of technology and its wide availability have allowed a shift to occur. Organizations are now changing their approach when looking to implement a new process that includes technology.
In the article Estes offers five strategies for picking the perfect solution. Want to know what these strategies are? There's only one way to find out. Head over to www.weldingandgasestoday.org and check out the Fourth Quarter issue of Welding & Gases Today, the premiere resource for the gases and welding industry.
