Business Administrator and existing businesses

Remember it can be free to test Business Administrator. It can also be free to use Business Administrator with an AdBoards licence.

It is not in dispute that Business Administrator is a huge piece of software: it needs to be to do its job. For some, it can be daunting trying to find there way around it. But remember that Business Administrator tries to fit into all businesses, whatever their type. Any business is likely to only use about a third of Business Administrators facilities: you pick and choose which facilities suit your business. If you are going badly wrong, Business Administrator will soon let you know, and what you should do about it.

One of the key issues of bringing Business Administrator into an existing business is fit. An investigation should be made into whether it can fit within the business culture and process and whether it can provide the facilities that are necessary. It is also vital to consider whether a regime can be created that allows the benefits of an electronic management system like Business Administrator to be realised.

Business Administrator was designed for SMEs of all sizes, and was designed to bring process to them that are only otherwise available to huge businesses. It does this well on the proviso that it is given information in a way that is timely and accurate. This is the regime that is required to successfully use Business Administrator.

In larger businesses, they call it policy, and it's generally the case that policies exist to ensure that relevant data is entered on to computers. Nearly all tills are connected to computers these days.

Existing businesses must always test Business Administrator for fit before committing to it. Testing can be free with an AdBoards licence.

It is also true to say that existing businesses have a track record to maintain. Track records are important because you can gain trends from them, thus building a picture of whence you have come and where you're going. There are many ways to maintain the track record, though we propose that easing Business Administrator into the business over time is the best.

Part of changing the culture or regime should be in getting Business Administrator to be the right-hand man, or woman of everyone that uses it. If it’s used well, Business Administrator will come to hold huge amounts of useful data, which can be referred to at any time. If it holds all this data, completely and accurately, then that is the bulk of your administration done. The bulk of the rest is just printing it.
