Technology
There is no doubt that VPN and SQL Server technology, (and where appropriate Wireless and Bar Code) are the best choice for company wide information systems. They provide security, performance, flexibility and accessibility that isn't available from smaller scale 'desktop' solutions.
The problem for small companies is that the cost of these technologies can be prohibitively high. Not only are the capital costs of initial purchase high, but the ongoing requirement for expertise and support is beyond the in-house skills of most small companies.
Challenge
Why should a company of 20, 10 or even 3 employees not have the same quality of system that a large company can afford? Big companies use this technology because it is good and it provides them with real benefits. The same type of technology, made available through isisOne, will actually have more impact in a small organisation.
Increasing efficiency - reducing problems and getting things done more quickly - has a much bigger 'percentage' effect in a small company. Free up one person's worth of admin time in a company with 5 employees, and you increase the workforce by a staggering 25%.
That's 25% more available workforce to concentrate on your customers and sales.
