Enterprise Solutions & Small Businesses having a Website

May 2013

Picture
Small and medium sized businesses tend not to utilize enterprise level web sites. With constant challenges of growing and running a business, small and medium businesses now more than ever need to utilize the same resources as large business.

Most small and medium sized businesses don’t leverage online enterprise technology because of the initial cost of implementation and licensing. Most of these organizations use Open Source technologies; a free code created by freelance developers. There is a cost advantage because there is no licensing fee & lower implementations because developer rates are cheaper.

In the long run these solutions become as expensive as large enterprise technologies due to the lack of standards & consistency. Imagine the construction of a house built by many contractors that do not communicate, follow a common blueprint, and use free materials. These contractors are cheaper than contractors who follow a blueprint. It is obvious how the initial cost of building this house can be inexpensive but think about quality and long-term results.

Large organizations have all the resources and money to implement the best technologies. Enterprise technologies offer feature-rich functions such as simple content management and collaboration. When we think of enterprise technologies, Microsoft comes to mind. These technologies are very economical in the long run, because Microsoft provides continual standards and support. Maintaining and building off these technologies result in lower costs and more functionality than Open Source.

Interactive Design & Solutions (IDS) saw an opportunity to leverage and create an enterprise level platform to provide these advantages to small businesses at the same cost as implementing an Open Source solution. We have configured Microsoft Share Point and focus on providing ease for small and medium business. Share Point is one of the most functional and feature-rich technologies large organizations have adopted.

Of course there are many situations when Open Source is economical for small businesses for the short term. As businesses grow and want to expand their offerings, starting out with the right solution will position the business for long-term savings and time.

Going back to the previous analogy: if you can get an industry leading house for the same price as an open source house why not? You get the best tools and resources (same as the big boys) at the price as any other solution.

It is possible to provide Enterprise Solutions under reasonable budget. The implementation and maintenance is hassle free and certainly more user friendly. Contact us to see how we can provide you with the best tools to help your business save money and grow.

We have worked with IDS for over 3 years now, getting almost all of their services including my website, their search engine ranking, local listings, mobile websites and now we have just started a Facebook campaign. I have always been very impressed with their results on their claims, their follow up and best of all, their open approach to direct communication. I rely on them to provide me what I need to be successful online and they never fail to meet this goal. They guaranteed two keywords on page one, but got 32 keywords on page one! I have often stopped by their office and I am always greeted with warm hospitality from the staff. They are always happy to walk me through what they have been doing. Andy and the team are friendly, highly experienced and get the work done. - S & G Cleaning Services
IDS has been there to support my business throughout the years. My business requires frequent updates and strong marketing as the day camp approaches and the whole team has worked with me to continue to grow my business. They have a strong knowledge and  great consulting skills to help continue to grow my website. I would highly recommend this company to anyone who needs help getting found online, they got over 1,000 of my keywords on page 1 over the various different search engines, which I really didn't think could be done! They went far beyond my expectations  -- Barry Wasserman, Eagle River Day Camp
Chocolate Lovers’ Club would like to thank you for all your help! You’re all very knowledgeable of what you do, and are always there to answer any questions we may have. The mobile site you made for us looks wonderful! We couldn’t have picked a better company to help us with everything we needed! -- Chocolate Lover's Club
Dora and her firm (IDS) designed the website for our statewide association (www.njava.org) and I must say that I was extremely impressed with how she and her team were able to take my simple idea and make it look so professional. They were efficient, timely, and most importantly easy to work with for someone that had very little web design experience and couldn't really tell them what I wanted. I would recommend Dora to anyone, big company or small non-profit, who is looking for a great firm to handle your web design needs.I will certainly be going back to her in the future -- Mike Ferguson
