Let’s Talk and Learn!
We are Jettin’, and we hope you are Jettin’ too!
Many of us talk about the whole – Crawl, walk and run thing, makes sense doesn’t it? The Logical steps in achieving “how to best win”.
Let’s take those steps and apply them to our business systems, and then take them a bit further by adding stationary and Jettin’ – we now have “Stationary, Crawl, Walk, Run and Jettin’”
Let us define:
Stationary – Just barely getting by.
•We have five disjointed systems–some on our server, others stored on someone else’s server in a garage somewhere.
•We spend tons of time just syncing them and making them operate and the upgrades! Geez… are they done yet?
Crawl – We have managed to start to inch forward.
•We have managed to cut deals with the vendors of our disjointed Apps and they will now cap the dollar amount we have to spend for the maintenance of them. Their only stipulation is they still have to to run them on their garage server.
Walk – Feeling good Struttin’ our stuff.
•Combined Apps down to three now, with solid syncs from reputable companies.
•Broken free of the garage server, now hosting them on a reputable server farm.
•Still working with vendors that have no clue about our business, but how many wins can we have at once? … Reputable server farm makes my day!
Run – Just sprinting along, Feelin good!
•One App in the cloud.
•Handles Financials, CRM, Case management, Project Management, and Payroll. Also, Hybrid – Exhibitor Services (Show-centric) / Exhibit House (project-centric)
*Jettin’ – Who the h*ll was that we just passed? A car, tanker truck or the Planters Peanut mobile. (I know, I know – I don’t mean to be insensitive, just having some fun! There is a “baby Mr. Peanut” now – right?)
•We are now “big stable data-ing it”
•Able to use 5g data access, with one reliable data set
•Start looking at how we are, going to live the 4th industrial revolution dream
But wait, what about those ConventionSuite/NetSuite ADVANTAGE APPS? Holy Peanuts, what are those?? Takin’ it to the NEXT LEVEL!
