The small business is a feisty player in today's marketplace.

Job roles are diverse, communication channels efficient, and there is an inherent flexibility, which means the small business can shift focus faster in response to the demands of clients and the market.

That makes the small business a capable and resourceful profit hub. But only if it's functioning right. Only if it's playing to its strengths. Problems not dealt with, can land it belly-up - problems that in a larger organization are more easily absorbed.

In the small business, one person off sick can bring work grinding to a halt. And one computer crash can have that exact same result. But the greater threats are less acute than that. The real threats are things that have ‘been going on for some time'. Like:

• Constant slow-downs caused by network failures.
• Roadblocks caused by outdated tools.
• Undelivered email
• Whack-a-mole pop-ups
• Searching through multiple data sets to find information that should be easy to find

Small businesses employ a high-percentage of creative minds - and those creative minds work around the problems. That's where the biggest problem lies. Working this way can threaten a company's fragile IT structure, and that can mean security breaches and company losses. The focus of your creativity needs to be on growing your business - and getting solutions to clients' needs. Not on plastering over cracks in your processes and systems.

Constant plastering over of cracks makes for doggy-paddle instead of freestyle.

The doggy-paddle business can benefit hugely from sorting out its processes and freeing up its resources. Even the average small business can increase its efficiency by upwards of 30% by bringing in intuitive processes that mean tasks get done quicker, easier, better.

At Brainlink, we deliver solutions for large multinational firms and small, scrappy firms.

We've rescued a $4 billion Schering Plough drug launch - we got everything in place in 6 weeks, when the closest other quote was over 6 months. We've rescued a Hearst Corporation project. We rescued ConsumerSearch.com.

We apply the same mission-critical approach to small businesses and one-man shops.

We work to the standard of excellence. And we are information-security experts. Our CEO is a leading authority on information-security. Our expertise is not paralleled by any IT company out there. Thirty percent of our work is contract work for other IT companies that don't have the expertise to solve the problems.

We can get the right defenses in place for your business, so that you can operate more efficiently, focus on your business, your clients, get more sales, build your bottom-line, and make the most of your out-of-business time and your family life.

This is our approach:

• We listen to you and we learn about the issues you are facing. We are patient and courteous.
  
• We evaluate your processes and systems in the context of your whole business. We draw out the sources of the problems, and we make suggestions with low-, medium-, and high- cost solutions - we explain the trade offs of each.
• We speak English - not jargon and gobbledy-gook.
• We work from a solid plan, and we are quick and efficient to resolve all the issues. We make your systems switch on and work. We will give your business a clean, stable, tested desktop environment. We will build intuitive, efficient processes around your work tasks.
• We are expert at negotiating contracts for hardware and software - we will negotiate deals that will save you money.
• We can bring your systems into line with the 50+ state and federal laws that will protect your company from data leakage.
• We bring new ideas, new ways of doing business. We get our clients into new markets and we facilitate the selling of their products and services in better ways. We have a massive network of people who know and trust us. We bring that network to all our clients - and create relationships where none may exist.
• We train your staff to get the most out of their systems and tools. This is a big key in the door: 90% of the time our clients have the tools they need, but they are not getting all the potential productivity out of them.
• We set you up with the maintenance tools that will keep you on track - the Windows and trial security software are not enough to keep you free of viruses, hackers, and data loss. And it's not enough to keep your systems from slowing down.
• We will respond quickly and efficiently to any future issue. We don't charge for every last phone call. Our clients call us at the first sense of trouble. So we can sort things out before real problems occur.

There isn't a process problem that we haven't dealt with for our clients.

We can make your processes more efficient. We can help build your bottom line.

What has inefficiency cost you this month? This quarter? This year? What will it cost you next year?

The best time to sort things out is now. That's business sense.
