Below is a review of several key areas we focus on:
Increase Productivity with the Right Software
Expected increases in productivity have become standard for most companies, and technology is an effective way to manage these demands without increasing headcount. But lengthy implementations, negligible advantages, and prolonged learning curves can be a costly side-effect to choosing the wrong software. Any solution that addresses productivity must retain the flexibility to respond accordingly to changing strategic, operational, and financial goals.
With the right software, every element of your business - employees, documents, workflow processes, projects, etc - is integrated and centralized, resulting in higher productivity, true elimination of waste, and a way to establish accountability at all levels of the organization.
Do I need software?
Software isn't just a tool for experts, and understanding the business advantages of the right software solution isn't just the purview of IT professionals. Software touches processes central to the business such as operations, customer acquisition and retention, supply and partner management, and product and service development. The overall orientation of the software strategy-either system-centric or people-centric-can determine the kind of competitive advantage and future flexibility the business will realize as a result of its investment.
QuickBooks and GPS systems are only two examples that SICG, INC. have expert knowledge.

What kind of software do I need?
Research shows that companies which invest in software as a strategic asset for their people perform better. It also stands to reason that business solutions engineered to meet customer needs and anticipate changes in the social, economic and political drivers of the world deliver more value to organizations than software developed by whim or committee. SICG, INC. believes software that enables people to discover information and patterns in that information; helps them make better information decisions; facilitates effective collaboration with colleagues, customers and partners; and promotes decisive actions based on well-informed insights is the key to meeting the challenges of the new world of work and overcoming its challenges.
