At OrbitsIT we are not just an IT support company and for many of our clients we provide them with a consultative service around their IT as this is now a major part of any business strategy.

Our topic headline above is an example of how we approach working with our clients. It’s not just about IT support; it’s about how we can use your IT to help you reach your business goals.

For many the start of a new year offers the chance to make resolutions to try and achieve greater things or give up bad habits. Many business owners and decision makers also plan to change aspects of their business to enhance their service or streamline their processes to reduce costs.

Now we are in March have you kept to those plans to make it big in 2015? Have you made the changes you wished for or have you, like many, failed to live up to your own expectations?

As a decision maker in your own enterprise we thought we would give you a little insight on how to keep to your business goals and resolutions that will help you to make it bigger and better this year.

Set achievable goals

This is the key step as choosing large goals is never a great idea. If you plan to increase your turnover by 1000% but fail, what have you achieved? Failure.

Small, achievable goals are more likely to give you easier successes and you can win more of these than choosing just one large goal to aspire to.

Here is an example of four common goals that should be simple to achieve:

1) gain 10% more customers

2) increase turnover by 10%

3) reduce costs by 10%

4) sell 10% more services to existing customers

These four goals are all relatively small when viewed on their own. However by working on each one we are more likely to achieve them and that will equate to an overall change in the business of 40%…not bad eh?!

Consistent review

This sounds time consuming but it actually isn’t. The ease in which you can manage your goals is really quite simple.

Each week we advise many people to spend an hour looking at their goals and targets. The most common things to look at are:

• How have things changed?
• What blocks have occurred to negate progress?
• What great things have happened to help us with them?

These are just a few simple questions that allow us to review, with speed, what we have achieved and where you need to make minor changes to improve our progress towards your goals.

How IT help your business achieve your goals

Your IT systems contain a lot of data. This data is key to the running of your business however have you found it harder and harder to find information that helps you manage your entire operation?

As we hold more data you need to ensure that your infrastructure, software and training are all up to speed. This is where OrbitsIT can really help you achieve your goals.

We can put in place the correct hardware and software that will help you manage, mine and get the most out of the data you are collecting. When viewed from a consultative perspective you probably have more data than you realise, so allowing us to review this for you will give you a clear insight into what IT can do to help your achieve your business goals.

If you want to make it big in 2015 (and it’s never too late to start!) then why not give us a call?
