Navigating through turbulent times is never easy, but today’s economic conditions are more challenging than most companies have ever faced. The instinctive reaction is switch to defensive mode, cut all strategic projects and then wait until things improve. But falling to do nothing could actually prove to be more detrimental long term. These turbulent times can reap reward and create new opportunities for companies that use information technology wisely.

The ‘Web-based Business Solutions’ event will show you how you can access a portfolio of Software as a Service products (Cloud Computing), quickly, with low risk and in some cases free of charge. That will help your business to:

· Understand where you sales leads are coming from and which are the most profitable

· Differentiate your service offering from your competitors

· Have an all round view of your customer over the entire life-cycle

· Secure your customer base against fraud and competitors

· Share and integrate information across the organisation eliminating duplication

· Enhance the customer experience

· Make more effective use of resources

· Improve your customer reach – extend your channels to market by exploiting e-commerce

· Accelerate deal closure

With demonstrations on hand through-out the day I am sure that this event will help to inspire you into understanding the new and smarter ways of operating to stay strong in these difficult times.
