Today's technology touches every layer of every business. Forward-thinking business owners understand the importance of developing a business strategy that incorporates technology into nearly every aspect of their business.
With more and better, faster, cheaper options available daily, the technology available to increase efficiency and profitability is truly mind-boggling. Remember, the iPhone is only 10 years old yet it has transformed culture around the world.
A state-of-the-art mainframe computer costing over a million dollars in 1965 and requiring special air conditioning and power, is now carried in your pocket or purse - and has processing speeds exceeding 1,000 times the 50 year old mainframe computer.
What the technology future holds is every business owner's blessing and nightmare. They fear that they will get so dependent on technology that one simple breakdown will effectively put them out of business. They are experts are running their business, but they are likely not experts at technology. Today's guest, Justin Plaza, has a solution.
