Efficiency, Productivity, Collaboration, Sustainability, Competitive Advantage. These are the topics at the forefront of businesses today but do we really understand what they mean let alone how we are going to deploy initiatives to address them. Datasouth can help with these challenges. We help by assisting you to realise your potential and overcome obstacles to your success.
Datasouths UNDERSTAND_ seminars are held each month. They present a highly relevant business topic in a relaxed and informative environment. They are not technical presentations but are designed to inform, educate and initiate thought and discussion about how IT can be developed into a strategic business asset that is aligned with your vision, goals and objectives – to be a goal enabler, a competitive tool and less of a cost centre.
Listed below are details relating to our upcoming UNDERSTAND_ seminars for 2010. To learn more simply click on the seminar that interests you.

Process improvement; let the system manage the paperwork
We can all relate to the ‘paper-wars’ and the often necessary path of bureaucracy in some form or other. Many of us can also relate to the thinking that there ‘has to be a better way’ and how often do we see a person leave an organisation and take ‘the process’ with them? How exposed could businesses be in a legal sense if they don’t have all the i’s dotted and the t’s crossed? This seminar looks at the business value behind forms, automated workflow and dependencies.

Content management & Records Management; seamlessly balancing risk & efficiency
Do you remember the old days when business records were captured on paper, stored in Eastlight folders and archived in basements? Well like it or not the digital age has changed all of that and for many business’s the duplication and cost of supporting both digital and paper records doesn’t stack up. This seminar looks at business value behind the organisation and management of a business’s digital data and how this can be achieved.

SQL & Office 2010; a business intelligence platform at your finger tips
Who isn’t using Microsoft SQL Server in some form or other in their business today? Nearly everybody is right. But who is getting the best value out of their investment in SQL? Not everybody it would be fair to say. Business intelligence, or the ability to bring together data generated by the business and present it in such a way as to shed new light on the opportunities and challenges facing the business is part of the core functionality of Microsoft SQL Server, SQL Reporting Services & Microsoft Office. This seminar will demonstrate how you can better utilise one of your most valued assets – your data, by using tools already at your fingertips.
