Over and above high costs, SMEs are forced to acquire large servers, highly qualified technical personnel, pay user based fees and recurring license costs etc. The core intent of SME of optimizing cost is lost the moment they are fooled into going for a oversized, underutilized, misfit ERP. Only ERPs like SYS-APPS (<a HREF="http://www.excltechnologies.com" rel="nofollow">www.excltechnologies.com</A>) which are focused to the requirements of SMEs, can serve them effectively and help them realize their goal of improved efficiency with lower input costs.

I work in industries that have to deliver after sales service in order to support sales that have already been made. Service is a cost of doing business In your industry service is the product. However, turn around time (TAT) is equally valid in both sectors. In your case the definition of TAT would be the time taken from order placement to order fulfillment. The only area therefore requiring clarification would be the strict definition of time of order placement and time of order fulfillment. Time of order placement: I imagine this is easy to define for a particular sale or contract as there is usually documentary confirmation of the transaction. Time of order fulfillment: This is far more difficult to define. Consider the three following possibilities. 1) The earliest date on which delivery is possible, the customer may delay commensement beyond that time but TAT might not include customer delays. 2) The date of commensement of services or first delivery of materials. 3) The date of completion of services or final delivery of materials. I hope these comments give you food for thought. Hi Xavier,

Thanks for your question.

Time of order placement:

I do not quiet understand the power of blogging as a tool for creating awareness as I am new to the blogging world but I believe that it’s reach is quite limited

See now if you hadn’t missed the first night of the blog training course you wouldn’t think that.

Do blogs really appeal to people who do not blog themselves - to the customer, the end-user, the person who will be paying for the product/service?

Blogs are the single most effective search engine optimisation tool I have yet come across, so in that sense the answer to your questions is Yes. Blogs appeal to anyone who uses Google.

Do blogs result in increased income for companies

Absolutely, that’s why they are being rolled out either internally or externally by most of the Fortune 500 companies.

I certainly would not rely on blogging as a primary tool in promoting a product/service.

That depends on the product/service you are trying to sell. It might not be suitable as the primary tool but if not, it should certainly be your secondary tool.
