Re: Online Small Business Technology Tools

Hello
Choosing primarily online tools for your productivity workflow is a great way to address the issue of source agnostic accessibility. It's also a convenient method to ensure you have a backup of your important day-to-day items and files in case a particular computer or device fails. One other not insignificant factor in selecting cloud-based tools to keep you and your business on track is cost: the online equivalents of once desktop-bound applications are often much cheaper in both raw cost and maintenance cost, as tool upgrades usually happen behind the scenes and don't require an in-house IT staff to keep up and running.

With the tools on this list, you should be able to check in on your current workflow stack regardless of which machine you happen to be in front of, what operating system it uses, and what browser it's running. Plus, if you have a smartphone as your trusty mobile companion, chances are you'll be able to access your tools from there as well. Check out our previous guide to mobile productivity tools as a logical companion to this piece, and consider your phone platform and setup and how well it may integrate with particular tools as you build out your productivity arsenal.

Re: Online Small Business Technology Tools

It is also a handy way to make sure you have a daily backup of important items and files, if a specific computer or device does not. Another significant factor in the selection of cloud-based tools to keep you and your business online is the cost. The equivalent cash online and once-tied applications often much cheaper and so raw costs and maintenance costs, tools such as updates usually take place behind the scenes, there is no need to go on your IT staff.

Re: Online Small Business Technology Tools

Hi,

You're always going to have questions about hiring, acquiring customers, raising money, and building viable products.

When I started my first business, it was crucial that I learn about accounting and income statements. As the nature of building startups goes, teaching myself the basics lead to more and more questions. My experience in finding the right places to ask particular types of questions has influenced the way I learn and seek information.

Nobody expects you to know everything that's going in. In fact, that's why you should always find the right advisors for your startup, so that you can benefit from their experience.

Thank you

Re: Online Small Business Technology Tools

In addition to accounting technology tools, every business needs a contact management system from day one as managing leads is the life blood of any business.

I have used several.

Goldmine used to be a stand-alone product, but now it is web-based and caters to larger businesses, under the business name of FrontRange.

I have also used SalesForce extensively. Check them out.

For new business, take a look at Highrise HQ. It is simple and they have a free version.

Re: Online Small Business Technology Tools

Thanks for sharing the knowledge. These tools are really helpful. To run a small business, it is very important to keep a track of everything. Especially in accounting, business cash flow is one of the important factors that needs a lot of attention. My organization uses cash flow management software from Concur which has been great and allows me to keep track of and account for every business expense that I place on my corporate or personal credit cards.
