A Step by Step Approach to Introducing Computer Technology Into Small and Medium Sized Firms

Abstract

The enormous advances in micro‐electronics in recent years has resulted in a dramatic decrease in the cost of computing power. Today's small business computer systems costing from £3,000 to £10,000 can do the work of a ten year old machine then costing the equivalent of £250,000. Therefore any company who employs more than one person full time to look after administration and clerical work should now be thinking about using a computer to save time, money and to cut out a lot of monotonous routine work. Additionally, even basic computer systems will provide businessmen with much better and more detailed information on which to base decisions.
