Hi

We're only two weeks away from launch and I've never been more excited about something like this before. The way this site will help other companies is immense, especially with the webcam support and the online seminars.

It seems to me that the IT industry has been quite familiar with all this technology but no one seems to have made the effort with business to business issues, like selling products and making money.

I guess all will become clearer to those who check out this site and become subscription members.

Over the next few months I'll be posting my thoughts, comments and views about the technology industry and how it has an affect on your buisness.

Regards

Nigel

Well, we crammed page after page on to the site along with downloads and examples. We've also got the PFT Flash site embedded in the Portal site under Support, just click on it to have a look, so we're making great progress.

We're about seven to eight weeks from our launch date and things are hotting up!

The web Portal system we've set up seems to be growing by the day, take a look at the website articles under the Marketing Review section and you can see the fantastic add-ons and extensions we've intergrated to make this a world class portal.

We'll be in touch again soon to give you the latest on the launch dates so keep an eye on the press and your inbox.

Bye for now.

Everyone in business has to plan where technology is concerned. Maybe something was going wrong or you were not particularly happy with the performance of a product or department, or perhaps the technology you were using had come to the end of its useful life. Whichever the case, you are now in a cycle of change, so where do you start?

That's how Profit From Technology came into being. We knew everyone had to plan for technology, but we became increasingly aware that businesses were not being encouraged to plan around making money rather it was more about planning around the staff and engineers.

As complex as implementing new systems can be, PFT presented an equally structured approach that businesses were crying out for.

Hi,
My blog is about the germination of an idea.

It all started after I had written a number of helpful documents for customers. It then developed into producing a paper newsletter. After a while, the newsletter evolved into a full blown html web-based newsletter set up on an automated system.

After a while, and with a little PR, a number of articles began to be published in business magazines. As the interest increased, I received a number of requests to write a book that encapsulated business technology and business process from the perspective of generating profit and not necessarily management.

So I had to gather my thoughts. It started off with bunch of categories, an idea of different words that related to a given number of subjects. I could see it in my mind's eye, a bit like a chemistry experiment watching gases rolling over each other, like clouds getting larger and larger.

In the case of Profit from Technology it was a case of having a burning desire to demonstrate to companies that technology should make money but no-one else was talking in the same terms.

Having worked in the technology industry for nearly 25 years I can safely say that the approach has never changed! Any industry needs to have a clearout. A change of ideas that puts everyone one on a different track.

The book is about logic, plain and simple. If you're in business, you have no choice but to use technology. Therefore, your technology must have a say in how much revenue it helps create. If your email server failed, you could manage for a while, but even the fax wouldn't cope. If your telephone system failed, you'd probably use your mobile, but when all these systems just sit there without having been sewn in to the fabric of your business you may just as well be using chalk and slate.

When technology is implemented with profits in mind, your business changes forever.

This blog is about my journey from the idea to the process of book publishing and beyond.

I'll write back soon.
