Continuing Education Keeps our Consultants Sharp and Value High

Saturday, March 13th, 2010

An important part of being a good reseller lies in the skill set of its consultants.  The management and consulting teams at Clients First Business Solutions are true believers in the value of education and prove it by continually honing their knowledge and skill sets

We stay current on Microsoft Dynamics and Sage Software product releases and prove it by maintaining current certifications on these products.  Microsoft and Sage alike develop these certification exams that test for not only competency, but also mastery of their software.  When a new product or version is released, we study it, practice it, and then prove our knowledge through certification.  In this way, our clients are assured that we possess the knowledge and skills that help us deliver the latest and greatest products.

Beyond the wide range of software certifications that we pursue and hold, we also embark on educational activities that improve our project management, communication skills, and team building.  We do this because we believe that developing these “soft” skills is as important as our technical skill development.  This approach brings balance to us individually and as a team.

We spend the time and money in education for our people because we know that the better we are as a group, the more value we can add for our clients.  Let us show you how our approach to continuous education translates into a real benefit to you – our clients.

Intuit Acquires Mint.com

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

An interesting play as Mint.com has an excellent personal finance solution that really integrates well to your personal finance sources like banks and credit cards.

There are plenty of articles and blogs on the acquisition etc.  But what I find interesting is the take on how it shows the rediculous multiples and price per customer are starting to hike back up after the hiatus in the last few years.

An article from Silicon Alley Insider on the issue:

ERP Optimization & Lean: A Winning Strategy in Challenging Times

Monday, September 14th, 2009

Introduction

Companies today are faced with two major hurdles. Doing business in a fiercely competitive global environment and challenging economic times. To survive and prosper organizations must employ new technologies and techniques at a velocity that may challenge the very fiber of their company. They will be required to establish seamless integration from their customers, internally into manufacturing, and out to their suppliers. In other words, the integration must wholly link all of the finite elements comprising the total supply chain.

The ability to adapt to change in the way they plan, manage and operate will set apart the winners apart from the losers. This will require a sharp focus on achieving excellence in all areas of the business. Company leaders will need to develop a strong bond across the value chain to achieve this high standard of excellence and effectiveness.

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is the strategic tool that equips the enterprise with the necessary capabilities to integrate and synchronize the isolated islands within their companies into efficient and streamlined business processes and workflows. Further, world-class organizations take it one step further by linking their ERP deployment to the processes and tenets of Lean Manufacturing and Lean Supply Chain Management.
