CONSULTANCY

If you are contemplating introducing computers into your business, or of changing some aspect of your current system, then we can give you what we believe to be unbiased advice.

Small businesses can easily be sold systems or packages which may fail to meet many of their basic requirements. Equally, they may find themselves purchasing an expensive package when a much simpler one would have satisfied their needs.

The computer hardware and software market is, to say the least, a fast moving one and it is very easy to get caught up needlessly in the "techno-speak" sales hype. Most small businesses running computers are already using machines which are much more powerful than the hardware that put men on to the moon.

Some points to consider:

• Do I really need even more power?

• Is spending more money on new systems (and software packages) going to bring worthwhile improvements?

• Is a minor hardware or software update all that is required?

• Am I going to get adequate support if I need it?
