Small Business Solutions

Direct Focus Software solutions are scalable to meet the requirements of the largest enterprises, but we’ve specifically created a package of services designed to let small businesses start off on the right foot with big plans to grow. So you’re not a Fortune 100 company – yet. You still need up to date information right now to meet customer needs, to react to daily changes - just to compete in this chaotic marketplace!

BI for Small Business Package

Our “BI for Small Business Package” includes

• Integration - reports using data from all your data sources.

• Automation – updated reports scheduled to run automatically, replacing tedious, manual “dump and import” or “copy and paste” processes.

• Standardization - interactive and print reports (banded reports) providing regular, trustworthy updates.

• Computerization – migrate from paper processes to electronic forms, and more.

Within a small business budget? Yes.

First, when you purchase a solution from us, we give you the BI software it runs on free. Second, we use our innovative, efficient technology to create solutions in less time, while actually including more “built-in” features – which means we don’t have to charge as much to produce a better solution. So, depending on your requirements, a typical BI startup solution costs between $5K and $15K.

Honestly, most BI companies won’t even begin to tell you what to expect until you invite them to do a full blown presentation, and even then their pricing is sooo complicated, you still can’t really figure out how much it will really cost. It’s no surprise then that most BI projects are over budget! We’re out to change that.

Sure, you have custom requirements, and we’ll need to discuss them with you. Call us to get the conversation started…

But generally speaking, we can help you if you have…

Complicated Spreadsheet “Solutions”?

If you’re at the point where a directory full of spreadsheets just isn’t working as a “reporting system”, call us. We’ll create a solution that collects your data in a central database, but still links to your important spreadsheets too, if you want. A solution that automatically consolidates all your business information into a time saving, standardized, easy to use, menu driven reporting environment you won’t get lost in and your whole company can work with.

Outgrowing Access?

If Access works for you as far as a database goes, but falls short in terms of reports, or when you need it to work with other data outside your Access system, call us. We’ll start with your Access data, just as it is, but provide reporting that is much more powerful, more flexible and easier to use. When it comes to using other data outside Access, instead of slogging through the time consuming, manual “dump and import” process you use now, we’ll automate your manual integration process, plus provide you with more powerful, interactive, flexible reports that you can run quickly and easily. Bottom line - with a Direct Focus Software solution, you’ll find the answers to your business questions faster and easier than you can today.

Disjointed Systems?

If over time you developed (or purchased) systems for this department, then that one, and that one too, call us. We can help you make sense of what you’ve got, and provide integrated Business Intelligence solutions to pull together a reporting environment using all your data sources. Later on, if you need to upgrade your various departmental solutions, we can do that too, all at once or one at a time if need be. Best of all, it will ALL work together.

Electronic Forms Solutions?

If you need to migrate from paper forms towards a computerized business environment, call us. We can provide the complete solution (not just the forms!), starting from electronic forms that look just like your current paper forms (if that’s what you want), AND are also integrated with customized, menu driven workflow, storage, retrieval and advanced business reporting capabilities that do exactly what you have in mind for your business.

“But We Need Something Special…”

Maybe our Small Business BI Package isn’t exactly what you need. Especially then – call us!

Maybe you just can’t find any off the shelf software to custom configure, modify, or otherwise “force fit” to meet your special needs. Maybe you’re thinking your only remaining option is to hire as inexpensive (but experienced!) a programmer as you can find to write you a custom solution.

Call us! We’ll show you how we can affordably create a system that fits your business now and will be easier to maintain, to modify and to grow as you grow, than any custom coded solution, because you know your business won’t stay the same. You’ll have to keep on changing that custom code every time your business changes. At Direct Focus Software, we designed our tools to expect change, so changes are easy, fast, and less expensive.

If Your Business is Planning on Growing…

With Direct Focus Software, you can grow your solution to include customized data transformation, sophisticated ad hoc reporting options, business workflow, business intelligence and business performance monitoring, dashboards, scoredcards, pivot tables, rapid response interactive production reporting, customer service solutions, and a host of other customizable modules you may not even have thought of yet!

The Direct Focus Software small business package is just the beginning – cause you’re just getting started growing your business!
