New Zealand – New Thinking.

And sometimes the failure may be "catastrophic" for your business model, that does not mean it has to catastrophic for you.Once you include the possibility of "failure" in your business model, and act accordingly, you will not really FAIL.... If New Zealand can find a way to teach their entrepreneurs to succeed with their "failures" and maintain a happy life-style, an ecologically sound and socially tolerant business environment, the whole world could benefit.

AccountsVision + WinWeb = WinWeb AccountsVision

Should any of our Partner Accountants wish to use the software beforehand, on a regular .csv or manual basis, please let Rachael know.What I enjoyed even more about our discussion, was the near 100% alignment of our vision for the future. Here are some cornerstones of our joint venture: We will jointly work on SaaS offering around AV, with a beta by the end of the year; AccountsVision will leverage the WinWeb platform for these SaaS developments; WinWeb will leverage AccountsVision knowledge in this area; AccountsVision will offer more and more applications around the accountants practice, i.e. Company Secretary tools with online filing, automatic tax return generation and online filing, and so on....; WinWeb will concentrate on the client side of things, with enhanced AccountsOffice, launch of AccountsOffice Lite ( in testing as I write ), online filing, enhanced cash flow and business planning tools, etc.It is not often that one can find a partner, which fits in so perfectly with our own development focus.

Dennis is discussing recent posts by others concerning Business and IT not speak the same language, meanwhile Stefan is talking about big business such as BT not being able to get his business phone…

I could not say it better….

Framing it in terms of whizzy new technologies leaves business people cold, and gets us nowhere.I think not only does it leave business people cold, they do not understand it and that creates business barriers.And that is exactly what I mean when I say small business needs BSI - Small Business Infrastructure.... But all this talk about bits & bytes is not only not very helpful, but also counterproductive from the software vendor point of view.We need to look a business processes and then apply the best technology and not the other way around.

BT – Bringing things together NOT!

Two ISDN-2e lines (four channels) down and they can not do anything for three days?!The people I spoke to had no help to offer, I had to ask them to divert all my calls to my mobile, they had to find out if that was possible!?!... How do you ROI the services from a supplier like BT!Can I ask anyone who knows me and has skype to email me their skype details!BTW, all you BT people out there I would love to hear from you on this blog.
