Business Software Solutions
By Joshua Feinberg
Business software solutions come in many shapes and sizes. Choosing the right software solutions at the start will save you a lot of time. Time you can spend growing and developing your business. Here are a few tips.
Keep your software solutions very simple. Many times we're tempted to think that if we had a magic piece of software, the would run itself. Not true. Computer consulting is not going to run itself regardless of the type of software solutions you are running. It's a people that relies on relationships not software.
Recommended Business Software Solutions
Make real simple choices:
Use Microsoft Office, Outlook, Publisher, Word, and Excel.
You will use these software solutions very heavily.
Use a time, billing, and accounting package that provides software solutions to small business. Quickbooks is a good, simple choice.
Get a good contact management package. Use a software solution like ACT.

For basic research use the tools at support.microsoft.com. Their knowledge base is tremendous and you'll likely be working on Office, Windows and Microsoft SBS all day.
Don't reinvent the wheel and try to build these solutions yourself. There are very good and inexpensive software solutions on the market that will do 99 percent of what a custom built program will do. Your time is much better spent doing more networking.
The Bottom Line on Business Software Solutions
The best software solutions for a small are the ones that come pre-packaged. Remember, you're not in to develop software solutions. You are a consultant who only needs the basics to run your own business. Leave the fancy software solutions to others and be there to implement or troubleshoot them as required.
