Its incredible to think how we have
gotten where we are today with technology. It was only a dream, or
something from a science fiction novel that we would be walking around
with devices that not only enabled us to have conversations with loved
ones anywhere, but that these same devices would allow us to watch
movies, play games, conduct business, and even continue those
conversations we were having face to face. Smart phones are a true
miracle in our day and age. It seems there is little that can't be
accomplished from these tiny devices. Today's SAAS (software as a
service) model gives us global access to pertinent information and daily
work processes from our fingertips. The application market of both
Apple and Android has opened up hundreds and thousands of new job
possibilities for us and our future generations. Next thing you know,
Captain Kirk really might say "beam me up", and with a click on our
phone we might find ourselves sipping on margarita on some desert
island.
Often we take for granted the miracle of
modern day technology. We have access to so many great tools, and a
plethora of digital entertainment right in our pockets. Everything from
business applications to television can be accessed anywhere and at any
time through SAAS, cloud technologies. Its really a wonder how we conducted life before the onset of these new mobile devices.
As an example of how critical these
devices have become; on the verge of closing a business deal the other
day, I left work with high hopes of a lucrative conclusion to an
agreement, when I was randomly sent an email from my client informing me
that they were considering moving in a different direction. Take back
by the complete 180 from an earlier conversation in the day I quickly
opened a GOTO meeting application on my smart phone and connected with
the client. With the help of this application I was able to present the
exact information needed in the moment to save the deal.
Today's technologies really are nothing
short of a miracle. A world of information sits at our fingertips just
waiting to be accessed.
The evolution of business processes have
been accelerated by cutting edge software and cloud based SAAS
(software as a service) technologies. Processes that once took cycles of
days to accomplish can now be completed in hours or even minutes. As an
example of this progression, most industries use contracts for a number
of purposed. Everything from non-compete or non-disclosure contracts to
employment and termination contracts. Typically these contracts are
completed on paper. The average contract cycle requires signature from
at least two parties, which often means mailing documents and waiting
for those documents to return. Cloud technologies eliminate the long
drawn out process, and inaccuracies that paper can create. By moving the
contracts to a secure online location, where all parties can sign the
documents can greatly increase document completion and help eliminate
in-completion and other human error. As an added bonus, moving to
paperless solutions keeps a friendly eye on our environment while saving
on expensive shipping and supplies.
