Abivia – Consulting that Fits

Almost every modern business depends on the use of information technology for some part of its operations. Yet the vast majority of small businesses make poor use of these tools. Some of the most common problems are:

• Underspending. For example, if you're still using an old accounting package that runs on an operating system that isn't available any more, you are probably not investing enough in your IT infrastructure.
• Overspending. For example, if you just spent big bucks on the latest, greatest accounting package but you can't get the reports you had with your old system, then you have probably been oversold.
• Poor training / failure to exploit existing tools. There is little point in investing in technology if you don't make effective use of it. Most people make use of only a fraction of the features available in any given application. Gaining an in-depth understanding of an application through training courses often results in learning about features that aren't relevant to the job. These less useful features are soon forgotten, which makes the training a poor investment. The solution to this problem is specific purpose training. Users are given instruction on the use of specific features that will help them work more effectively.
• Lack of knowledge. Frequently, businesses fail to make use of applications designed to solve their specific problems, simply because they don't know that those tools are available.

Abivia is sensitive to the fact that small businesses typically have extremely limited resources. We help our clients identify solutions that help them meet their business objectives in the most effective way possible.
