All businesses are looking for that extra edge - the things that make a difference; whether it's increasing revenue, saving costs or just plain making life easier. One area that every company needs to look at is the software that is being used or in some cases not being used!
Research shows that businesses rarely use more that 20% of the functionality of any software system. This is great news as it leaves a whopping 80% still to benefit from. In addition to this there are many systems not being used at all - still in the box, never installed or never really understood and forgotten about.
A great example of this is Sage ACT! - with over 2.8m users there must be a whole host of companies out there not using it to its full potential. Every organisation needs to manage sales, improve customer service or just free up some admin time and a bit of training could make all the difference.
If you work for an organisation that has been in business for a while I bet there is some benefit to be gained from looking around your network or in the cupboard where your software boxes are kept. It may take a little research or some training but the potential is definitely there. There may even be government funding to foot the bill!
