If you are a small business owner or a C-level executive in a midsize company, you understand the challenge. You have real business problems that you know can be solved by existing technology, but you have nowhere near the time or budget necessary to implement a complicated, costly software application that has been designed to do everything for everybody.

For example, perhaps you need a straight-forward Lead Tracking database to manage sales opportunities or an Automated Upload to your web site so your customers can check their order status online. Maybe you need a more accurate way to forecast inventory requirements based on your ever-changing order log. And perhaps you've heard about Permission-Based Email Marketing but don't really know how it works and why it's more effective than traditional email approaches.

In other words, your business or functional area is just like every one of your competitors - you need to find new customers, keep your existing customers and streamline operations to contain costs along the way. Whatever particular obstacles may be preventing you from

reaching these goals, you need solutions that can be tailored to your specific needs, you need them to be affordable and you need them now.

My name is Jack Franz and I can guide you over, around and beyond these obstacles. In the past 21 years I have owned three businesses and managed a fourth. I designed, developed and implemented the strategic software applications that supported the day-to-day operations of these enterprises. Solutions include Professional Services Billing, integrated Order Entry / Production Scheduling, Inventory Insight, Auto Shipment Email Notification and many others. See the Solutions link on the menu bar for more details.

So why reinvent the wheel? There is a strong probability I have already developed similar business technology solutions to the challenges you are facing. Leverage this knowledge and I can generate similar productivity efficiencies and cost savings for you - more quickly, more affordably and more precisely.

It really has been done before. That's my TechSpective. What's yours?
