Why is technology adoption so important?Without new technology adoption it’s impossible for businesses to be competitive in this economy. A major role of technology is to help businesses scale, design systems, and automate processes.Studies recently have shown that adopting technology keeps businesses leaner because entrepreneurs can do more with less.There’s evidence that new business start-ups are doing so with nearly half as many workers as they did a decade ago.For example, Wall Street Journal’s Angus Loten reported that today’s start-ups are now being launched with an average of 4.9 employees.Down from 7.5 in the 1990s, according to the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, a Kansas City Research group.In other words, technology allows businesses to expand quickly with less.Researchers at Brandeirs University found that technology driven service businesses added jobs at a rate of 5.1% from 2001 to 2009; while employment overall dwindled by.5%.These businesses save money, expand, and create jobs by adopting new technologies.Are you adopting new technologies fast in your business?Speed of technology adoption is critical to your business success.Technology is changing the speed of business; now a whole industry might expand, mature, and die in months… not years.There’s one formula that illustrates this marriage between adopting technology and business success the best… and that’s the “Optimal Technology Equation.”I recommend you adopt this powerful “Optimal Technology Equation” in your business:• Maintenance + Planning + Innovation (Adoption)=
• Enhanced Technology Capabilities=
• Reduced Costs + Increased Production=
• Increased Profitability.Of course, this is only a brief explanation of this invaluable formula. Be one step ahead of the competition.
