Godfather For Your Business

Do you like the Godfather movie? I have seen it many times. It is a great idea, that anyone could just come and explain his problem - and then no longer have to worry about it.

Still, one never knew how they would have to pay for this service. When it comes to your business - what would you ask Don Corleone for? IT Outsourcing is like a godfather for your business. If you're facing any problems - just come and tell us. Too much paper work, routine work, complicated ways of data storage, no time to explore new services, clients contacts database chaos, lack of individual approach to customers, low level of control - add your problem here.

These and many other problems are solved by IT Outsourcing. The point is (just like in the movie) - to know exactly, what you want. And we will make you an offer you can't refuse, because the benefits of IT Outsourcing are:

1. Cost advantages - especially for offshore outsourcing;
2. Automation of Business processes that are currently performed manually;
3. Putting to use the knowledge and experience of a service provider, that has been gained in similar projects (strategic consulting);
4. Allows your company to concentrate on its core competencies;
5. Transform fixed costs into variable costs - instead of keeping your own IT department, you can order software development when necessary;
6. Fewer employees;
7. Control over expenses - adjusting your software demands according to budget;
8. Internationalization of business;
9. Application of latest technologies;
10. Stability via stock prices of outsourcing companies is growing.

The decision, whether to utilize outsourcing for your company is still up to you. Evaluate all the options of your business, use the experience of your competitors - and decide, which activity or activities to outsource, and to which service provider.

Three Kinds of Businesses That Thrive in a Recession

When we visited Cancun, Mexico this past winter for our annual 5-week R&R trip, we were amazed at how many storefronts and clubs were completely empty. Senor Frog's had virtually no business, and the shopping centers for tourists were so empty that they echoed. It was like walking through a very luxurious ghost town. Some stores in our local town back here in Colorado are starting to look the same way, but not all businesses.

There are three kinds of businesses that seem to thrive during any recession: discount stores, maintenance shops, and stores that recycle goods.

Discount Stores
Of course, Walmart is coming up roses with its low-price guarantee. The giant retailer increased its annual stock dividends by 15% in March, while other retailers are closing their doors. But other kinds of discount stores are also doing very well.

For instance, beauty schools all around the country are seeing a surge in business. People want to look good, even as the economy comes crashing down around them. At just $5-$7 per haircut and $35 for a hair color (versus $25 for a cut and $75 for a color at a regular salon), beauty schools are attracting customers like crazy. Discount stores empower consumers to stretch their hard-earned dollars, and are earning profits on their sheer volume of business.

Maintenance Shops
Drive past any new car dealer and you'll see a shiny ghost town. No one wants to buy a gas-guzzling new car in this economy. Instead, people are doing their own oil changes and trying to make their older cars last longer. Car service centers are experiencing a surge in business, with people bring their cars in for more complicated maintenance issues. Experts predict that service centers will see even more business if the price of gas stays low, as many people plan to take road trips this summer as an inexpensive way to get away. Those road trippers will want their cars tuned up before hitting the road. Other maintenance-type businesses growing include all kinds of repair shops, from shoe repair to computer repair.

Recycled Goods
When it comes to saving money, consumers are thinking thrift shops, eBay, pawn shops, and auctions. Second-hand stuff has never been more valuable, and people are flocking to second-hand venues to both buy and sell. While major retailers like Macy's are laying off thousands of employees, some thrift store chains are doubling the size of their staff. Experts are also predicting an increase in swap meets, better business on eBay and other auction sites, and a rosy future for pawn shops. Investing in recycling used goods is about to be very big business.
