High Tech, High Touch
Computers and the Internet have made it possible for small businesses to compete with the largest multinational companies. Email and ecommerce allow you to run a business that serves the world. Word processing and desktop publishing can give you an image as professional as anybody’s. Computerized phone systems offer personalized service unlike any ever seen.
Opportunity or threat?
These technologies not only offer opportunity, they constitute a threat. If your competitors are making better use of technology than you are, you will have to run to keep up. If your competitor integrates his PC applications with his clients’, while you still deliver the fruits of your work by hand and by fax, you are going to lose. Your competitor is going to lock his clients in with technology.
But at the same time, how many horror stories do we hear every day of technology misapplied? The infuriating voicemail system that insists you must navigate six menus before reaching your party? Or even worse, that never reaches a human being at all? The recording that tells how important your call is but fails to let you know when you will be called back? The computer that crashes, trashing three weeks of work?
