In this day and age is no time to spend. We have heard this phrase many times in recent months. From here, and as a premiere of our blog, we offer our vision for technology investment.

Do I have to invest in Information Technology and Communication? The answer depends on the answers you give to these few questions:

1. How can I justify the investment?

In general, technology allows us to:

Doing more with less: reducing costs and expanding our market with the same resources available are some possibilities
Do new things: Expanding our market and offer new services are options that technology brings us up to capitalize on
Economically it affects:

From the quantitative point of view: Cost Reduction, sales of new market or increased sales in today's market, sales of new services.
From a qualitative point of view: improvement of our image for our customers and suppliers being able to offer better, more customized services.
2. What goals do you want to achieve with the investment?

Define what the objectives of the investment will help to assess the results and focus it properly. The technology investment will not be the same if we want to facilitate access to our sales office information remotely or if the objective is to improve customer service or if we are redesigning administrative processes ... Each company must decide which are theirs prior to the implementation of the technology platform.

3. Am I willing to use technology to innovate?

Imagine using Word like a typewriter. This is an example of what happens on many technology companies are still doing everything the same but "with computer". Took the opportunity to rethink how we do things. Consider innovation one of the most important issues in business, so we will devote an article soon.

Having decided on the investment or not, contrary to popular opinion, we believe that the current situation is good to invest for the following reasons:

There is a moment of great points of work, allowing an implementation of tension-free tools for users with longer training periods and calm.
In the case of Spain, the Government has big money available to small businesses. A concrete example, though not unique, is the Avanza Plan to permit the funding of ICT to 3 years without interest or commissions.
The crisis is a threat and an opportunity to come out stronger from it, with new approaches and a stronger company.
