Business Process Consulting
Every business does it...they scramble
for solutions to the then current problem with total disregard for what
it does to the rest of the operation. As a result processes end up
overlapping each other, business intelligence that is needed for the
current project and available elsewhere but forgotten ends up
duplicated, and a project that was intended to decrease the workload and
make the staff more efficient ends up doing just the opposite. As
process consultants we are specially trained to observe your workflow
and to make suggestions that will help you design internal systems that
enable your business to thrive without compromising your mission or core
values.

Relationship Management
Systems
Since the late 1980s a heavy focus of sales
departments has been CRM systems (Customer Relationship Management
systems). These systems, when correctly deployed were to track all
interactions between the sales force and their prospective / existing
customers in order to guide both parties through a sale and their
ensuing relationship. In
essence these systems were designed to be overseers of the sales force to ensure that no
sale was lost. However, in recent years, management has begun to
realize the other values inherent in these systems. Implemented
correctly they can give every employee a 360°
view
of everything that was happening within the business so that they could
operate efficiently. There are a multitude of benefits to these
systems

Medical Practice
Management Solutions
Most businesses are lucky enough to
have to deal with just customers, employees and vendors. In the
case of a medical practice today there are many more external pressures
that affect how the business can run. Managed care companies
dictate what a physician can be paid...and often when they will be paid.
They dictate the treatment the patient can receive...and how often that
treatment can be delivered and what it can consist of. Back office
operations struggle to deal with mountains of paperwork in systems that
appear to ensure the maximum difficulty when trying to get paid.
The government adds yet another layer of complexity by increasing
regulations designed to add security but which end up making everything
more complex. At the same time, the physician struggles to deliver
quality medical care while trying to run a business burdened by these
external forces. Into the fray often steps a technology company
offering some wiz bang solution that will only cost the physician more
than the sum total of his medical school expenses while promising to
solve all his back office problems in no time flat. There
are a number of alternatives to this snake oil mentality that can target
the pain points and make the practice more efficient without a drastic
overhaul

Web Development and the
Fine Art of e-Marketing
Every time a new customer wants to buy
a product or a new patient wants to see a doctor the front office is
burdened with paperwork in order to get that individual into their
database. What if that could change ? What if the individual
could provide all the necessary information on a simple web form that
would automatically create a record for them in the database (or update
an existing record from a prior visit or purchase) and all staff would
be required to do is to monitor activity ? Once these individuals
were logged into the system what if you could e-market to them based on
their self defined interests to remind them of your presence ? In
other words, what if you could create a marketing engine which ran with
little human interference and ensured that all necessary data to
complete a transaction / encounter was automatically trapped and that it
was the customer / patient who did it ?
