Making use of my expertise in Technology, I have been able to add value and to offer effective benefits to small businesses in areas like :

- reducing amounts being spent on IT systems by reviewing & revising existing configurations and contractual obligations.

- improving effectiveness of the use of Technology by investigating business processes and assessing if the current solution is the 'best-fit'.

- identifying opportunities for using Technology to increase efficiency of time-consuming operations or to reduce costly bottlenecks in operations.

- addressing the benefits to be gained in increasing staff knowledge levels in the use of IT products and formulating training plans.

- generally offering advice & guidance in adopting the best technologies to implement as a basis to achieving their future strategic plans.
