The Importance of
Bunny Slippers
The second phase of the Future of Small Business
Report is out, and the findings aren't all that
surprising (at least, to us). But then, we've been
doing this for over 10 years.
Aptly titled "Phase Two - The Connected World of
Entrepreneurs", the report looks closely at the
technologies and trends that will cause change
in the small business sector and help to more
fully empower it in the global economy. The
report, to summarize the findings, says that
connectivity, wireless networks, and mobile
communications and computing are removing the
boundaries of distance or locale, allowing
entrepreneurs the flexibility to do business
virtually anywhere.
The report was developed by Intuit and
The Institute for
the Future, an independent nonprofit research
group which "works with organizations of all kinds
to help them make better, more informed decisions
about the future". The purpose of the report is
discuss the things that will impact the small
business market over the next 10 years; identifying
and analyzing issues and trends of various types and
forecasting their impact on the small business
community.
There are a few imperatives discussed in depth in
the report. One such finding focuses on the
adoption of technology by the small business, which
is traditionally slow to fully adopt and utilize new
technologies.
The report finds that small businesses "will need to
aggressively use new technologies to create, build,
and market their products and services. Small
businesses that fail to embrace technology will be
under increasing competitive pressure from more
technologically savvy firms".
"The connected
world:
small business management on my time, on my terms".
The "digital infrastructure will allow greater
flexibility around when, where, and how work is
done, allowing small business managers to run their
businesses on their time and on their own terms."
Here's where the bunny slippers come in. The
technology is available now to allow business owners
and managers to get the information they need to
make decisions and get work done no matter where
they are. The report further stresses the point
(home or vacation = bunny slippers!) by
saying that "the adoption of these new technologies
will allow greater flexibility about when, where,
and how work is done. Being onsite will become much
less important. Vacation homes and automobiles will
double as offices, and increased flexibility will
make participation in family activities easier."
The Intuit report clearly reveals the importance
of technology to the small business operating in
today's Internet economy. Remote access, mobile
technology, and online application services can
help the business to improve their
competitiveness, increase their ability to meet
customer demands, and reduce IT management and
related operating costs - these are the drivers
which incent the business to adopt. The
improvements in the work-life balance are the
benefits that are a little harder to quantify.

Working online with your
clients using hosted applications
When you and your clients have access to
centralized applications and data, allowing
you to work in multi- user mode regardless
of your location or desktop computer, it's
the best, most effective solution for
bringing you and your client closer.
You (as well as the client) can immediately
access their information from anywhere,
providing adjustments, review and reporting
directly with their live data. Clients no
longer have to wait until you are finished
working on their books - you both work in
real-time on the same files. Nobody loses
any entries by overwriting data.
Separating the data entry process from the
review, adjustment and reporting processes
is easier when the data and applications are
centrally stored and managed. Regardless of
a user's location or equipment profile, they
can access the necessary programs and data
files to get their job done quickly and
efficiently.
Outsourcing non-core business functions
becomes an affordable reality for any
business, regardless of size, when you have
the ability to implement business processes
and activities without concern for physical
or geographic constraints. For some
accountants, just having the
virtual desktop available makes life
better. Even if the clients aren't working
online, the accountant can store and manage
multiple client data sets on their virtual
system. The accountant can transfer files
to/from client PCs easily when onsite (just
drag and drop between your virtual desktop
and the client PC!), and to access all that
client data from anywhere at any time.
