In
this fast and changing and competitive world, it has become
imperative for every professional to offer value addition
to his services. IT has emerged as the most powerful enabler
in this direction by offering numerous avenues of improving
the quality of life, performance and efficiency. Following
are some important factors because of which the companies/business
groups/individuals are readily embracing computer based
solutions:
Space
and manpower are now available at a premium. Old techniques
of record keeping are extremely space and resource consuming
and demand high maintenance costs. The trend is now moving
towards a computerized, paperless office.
With
increasing shortage of time, quick retrieval and accuracy
of information is very important. In order to improve information
flow, there should not be duplicity of effort or information.
These factors are well taken care of by computerizing the
activities.
According
to a study, a computerized office can handle up to 20%
more clients/customers within the same time and with lesser
support staff. This is direct increase in income.
Services
of a professional should make the client happy by offering
him more value for his money. Computerized offices offer
this facility by way of better informing the clients, improved
record keeping techniques, and maintaining record history,
better presentation etc.
