ENTREPRENEURS cannot afford to do without computers in their businesses. To plan and control the business more efficiently, entrepreneurs should develop a computer plan that evaluates systems that describe the need and benefits flowing from computers.
Because entrepreneur’s knowledge of computers is often limited, it would be wise to seek expert advice from people who know about computers.
Many things in the world of business have to be done fast. With computers, one can add or subtract numbers for large amount of data. Complex computations such as the number of sales, expenses, returns on investments, salary for employees that were stressfully done manually by pen and paper can be easily done by computers.
The entrepreneurs can cheaply use email, Skype or Facebook to meet clients and save on transport costs. With computers, businesses are becoming more productive.
There are people who still resist the use of computers partly because they were not born in the computer generation. But it is never too late to adapt to computers.
The reasons for the popularity of computers with businesses are their efficiency, speed, low procurement cost and capability to handle multiple tasks with little chance of error. With computers, one can manage:
Office Routines: Businesses with workloads fall back upon computers for most of their tasks such as book-keeping, inventory and front desk management.
Marketing: The Internet has brought down the costs of communication and marketing. Companies have websites, which can be read by clients to find about their products and services.
Training: Companies are able to train their own employees using power point presentations.
New Business Opportunities: The Internet and e-commerce has opened up new opportunities for all types of businesses such as online sales.
Records: Vast amounts of data can be cheaply stored by a company using computers. The costs of paper use in many companies are falling as many activities are running electronically.
Papers where your sensitive data and information are written are prone to damage and loss.
Although computers are also prone to damages and data loss, they are still more reliable compared to the manual methods.
