The
secure and speedy acquisition of information is
vital to all of us in managing our Business.
Technology
provides us the means to convert the requirement
into practical solutions.
However
unless we have an in-depth knowledge of the consequences
and options in adopting those technologies we
are vulnerable to spiraling costs and decreasing
benefits.
Looking
at a traditional technology life-cycle diagram,
the points where that cost can accelerate are
fairly obvious. The means to control and reduce
the costs may however not be, and as importantly
to find good advice to reach and maximise those
cost controls.

Many
would make claim to be that informed advisor, whereas
in truth few will possess practical knowledge.
We
at Interchange Group have seen the rise and decline
of many technologies, however with Wireless and Data
Capture we have seen solutions built upon decades of
evolution. Rather than simplify those solutions have
evolved and split into many differing disciplines. It
is not a prediction but a fact that wireless and data
capture solutions are here to stay. From the lowly barcode
scanner (lowly until you realise it costs more than
your PC or in some cases your main communications hardware)
to the complex multifunctional mobile devices, these
products communicate / track and audit business activity.
Without them many functions we now take everyday would
be ineffective or seriously undermined.
What
you may not be familiar with, is our practical involvement
in assisting business to invoke and control the technology
rather than be driven by it.
For
instance for the UK's largest user of data collection
(Royal Mail) we were invited to assist them in cost
control and technology support. We have worked besides
them for many years and through that close working relationship
saved them £millions year upon year.
