RevITup™ TechEd Action Plan: Simplifying Technology | Innovate Your Business & Maximize your Investment in 30 Days
Step 1: Start Small: You don’t need a 5-year roadmap to get started in Cloud computing. Next time you are sending someone a file, take a look at dropbox.com. Sign up for their free account and send the file that way. It’s simple!
Step 2: Think Big: Once you have bought in to the Cloud, chart out a path to move the core parts of the business to a cloud-based solution. Map the benefits and plan the project. Try a project management tool like Liquid Planner, a project planning solution on steroids with simplicity and elegance.
Step 3: Pick an Anchor App: Find an application that will be a core around which you can build your technology tools. This might be CRM or a Professional Services Solution. We like SugarCRM, a CRM software tool for sales force automation and customer support deployed on demand accessible 24/7 from any location.
Step 5: Ask for Help: The Cloud Ecosystem can be a complex place. Identify a technology partner to help guide your path and create a roadmap for you. The Cloud has much to offer small and mid-sized business. Make sure you have a great tour guide
