Are You Blogging Effectively?

Just read this great article on the state of blogging.

Hope you enjoy.

I’m excited about the FieldOne social push of late and we look forward to engaging with our customers in the social sphere in 2012!

A Scalable Field Service Company

When speaking with prospective clients, I am often asked to describe some of the highlights of our field service software package. While there are certainly many attributes that distinguish our product from those of our competitors, one of the overarching distinctions is in the amazing scalability of our program.

At FieldOne, we appreciate that your business is not static and that it is constantly evolving, as you seek to incorporate new features and upgrades to your products and services.

In order for you to remain competitive within your niche, it is therefore imperative that you partner with a proper field service provider, who can accommodate that growth with a robust and scalable platform.

Our product is the finest product in our industry bar none (and yes, I am exceptionally proud of it..;-)!

With our platform, there are no frustrating limitations on the number of records, fields, or any other data which you may record. Your business will grow with this software, and this software will grow with your business.

Other field service software programs set limits on the amount of data you can store, and as you increase the number of records, the programs often slow down. You won’t have this problem with FieldOne. There are no limits on the number of transactions that can be recorded, nor on the number of users that can be logged on concurrently – locally or remotely.

FieldOne is designed so that the end-users do not connect directly to the database server, but to the application server. This enables you to scale your application server to the extreme.

The Jobs Bill and The Field Service Industry

Last night, we all watched with baited breath as President Barack Obama introduced his new iteration of what he hopes will be a job fix solution.

“The American Jobs Act,” which he introduced last night in front of a joint Congressional session and a national TV audience, is a broad based $450 billion collection of tax breaks, job stimulus and aid aimed to help alleviate the country’s mounting unemployment.

The million dollar question which has already been asked, is as follows:

How will this so called “Jobs bill” affect the field service industry?

The true answer is, who the heck knows!!! This is politics, so there are sure to be a gazzilion revisions and iterations of this thing before it’s all over and done with! To extrapolate from the Presidents’ opening salvo, is to prematurely engage in semantics. The final bill is going to wind up looking like a phone book – and like all other ‘bills’, will no doubt be thoroughly convoluted so that nobody really cares enough to understand what’s in it, much less how it might affect (and effect) a certain sector. However, I’d like to write a blog entry…so I’ll give it a shot!..;-)

Let’s forget about how it may/may not affect possible tax breaks on  small businesses. The fact is, the President has already changed his definition of  (and criteria for) what constitutes a small business more times than I have fingers and toes, so let’s leave it alone.

However, one thing is indeed certain, if the President has his way with these so called “shovel ready jobs”, there will be billions (yes, billions with a ‘B’) of dollars in investments into infrastructure, nationwide.

"Shovel Ready" jobs, means different things to different people......

 
Undoubtedly, many of these initiatives and projects will be allocated to include people in the Field Service Industry, who will be called upon to fix highways and roads, to build telecomunication networks, etc.
 
Stay tuned!
