Anyone who starts a business computer system design by discussing networking or hardware is an amateur. All business computer hardware and networks are meant for one thing, and one thing only:

It is the software that does the work of the business, keeping files, facilitating customer contacts, invoicing, preparing timely reports, etc.

Therefore, the first decision to be made in the design of the system is:

What business system software is right for your business?

In consultation with you, and in light of the size, style and needs of your business, Connectco will help you select the right business system software.

As an example, if your business is quite small, say four employees, then we might recommend Business Works as the basic core business system because that software is comprehensive and fast enough for your firm. Business Works is less expensive than, say, MAS-90, although State-of-the-Art manufactures both systems. On the other hand, Business Works, may not be fast enough or comprehensive enough for a larger firm, which may need the power and capacity of MAS-90.

In addition to a comprehensive business software system, your firm may also need office automation software, such as Microsoft Office, graphics programs, etc., all of which Connectco can supply.

Your sales force or purchasing department may need a contact management tool, to save telephone time and keep contact information organized for each vendor or customer. Connectco represents Telemagic, one of the most effective contact management systems.

And what if some of these software systems have to communicate with one another? For example, a salesman, using a contact management program, may find it necessary to check on a customer's credit or payment record. Connectco has enhanced and tied together programs to make such searches easy. Now, with only one or two keystrokes, the salesman can easily retrieve such information from the accounting system, and it will appear as part of his contact display.
