Most of the companies engaged in Technical Consulting or Software Development for the official work of the Government are also established outsourcing units that provide par excellence service in several areas of administrative control. Some companies claim a near 30 percent improvement in the working of authorized bodies and this is generally quite a significant figure. Many Government Service Providers have an unique distinction of providing good employment opportunities as well to deserving and ethical candidates. This is a secure opening that pays very well and gives a great life to the people who choose to work for the improvement of the governmental agencies and departments.

The Technical Consulting and Software Development scope of Government recognized agencies increases many folds with the organizational capability of professional organizations in this field. Complete security solutions are offered that help the financial sector to freely progress in their jobs and leave the administration to well designed and operated software support of the consulting team. The government areas where such consulting is active encompasses visa credit cards, patents and marking offices, support services for employment and training of federal agencies and exclusive call centers that provide office support to the official organ of governance.

If you need Great Plains or current name Microsoft Dynamics GP ERP installation, software licenses, implementation consulting, customization, integration, data conversion, ongoing data import, EDI solutions, ecommerce web design and software development, including Great Plains Dexterity, eConnect, SQL stored procedures, GP Integration Manager, VBA/Modifier, Report Writer, Crystal Reports, FRX Balance Sheet, Income Statement – we would like to offer you some Dynamics GP technical tips and highlights:

1.       Microsoft SQL Server 2005, or 2000 Database platform.  Dynamics GP, starting with version 8.0 is available on Microsoft SQL (including SQL 2008) Server and MSDE 2000/SQL Select 2005 exclusively.  Older version: Ctree and Pervasive SQL 2000/Btrieve were discontinued in December 2004.  If you are on older Great Plains Dynamics version: 4.0, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 7.0, 7.5 on legacy DB – you should consider migrating to Microsoft SQL Server and then upgrading to latest version Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0

2.       Dynamics GP Great Plains Integration.  Please, review GP Integration Manager first, as it may give you sound solution, IM for Dynamics GP 10.0 has new connectors, based on eConnect, meaning that you can do realtime or really fast integration (thousand transactions per minute), comparing to traditional IM connector, based on OLE Server

3.       FRx reports.  If you are programmer who is very familiar with SSRS or Crystal Reports, please understand that Dynamics GP financial reporting, such as Balance Sheet, P&L, Statement of Cash Flow, Consolidated Financial Reporting – all these are traditionally FRx routines.  We could agree with you that Crystal should be capable to do all the imaginable and possible reports design jobs, but FRx has GL connectors, which allows you to do the job in few hours.  Please for FRx for Dynamics GP 10.0 , be aware that FRX 6.7 SP 10 is required.  For Dynamics GP 9.0 we recommend FRx SP 8

4.       Dynamics GP Customization.  Here you should be familiar with Great Plains Dexterity functionality and capabilities: Dex is traditional tool, in fact Dynamics GP Great Plains was architectured and initially programmed in Dexterity

5.       GP Barcode.  Barcoding scanners and servers – please, consider first Dynamics GP barcodeing add-ons or third party ISV modules.  If you feel that these instruments are too generic and you have to take on your own Barcode customization add-on – we would be happy to help you

6.       Dynamics GP Great Plains for international businesses.  GP is available in English speaking countries: USA, Canada (where GP is available in French for Quebec), UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Oceania, South Africa.  For international business or multinational corporation GP multicurrency, VAT or GST tax support, multiple ERP platform consolidation: Oracle EBusiness Suite, Accpac, Navision, Axapta, SAP all in One, mySAP, SAP Business One, Microsiga, Peachtree might be important players in consolidated financial statements.  We are aware that Dynamics GP Great Plains is still popular in France, Germany, Poland, Lithuania, Egypt, Arabia, Spanish speaking Latin America: Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Costa Rica, Honduras, Guatemala, Venezuela, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay.  If you are in Brazil, we recommend you to deploy SAP Business One to be consolidated with your Dynamics GP Great Plains ERP and MRP in USA or Canada

7.       Dynamics GP Great Plains Guru in the USA and Canada country side.  We support you via VPN, Web Session (Gotomeeting, Webex), Remote Desktop Connections.  We are sharing your concerns that your region might be underserved by traditional Dynamics GP Partners or ISVs

9.       International Consolidated Reporting.  The normal and budget approach is FRx.  FRx financial reporting is capable to produce consolidated BS, PL, CF statements.  FRx works over so-called reporting trees, where you can slice and dice your subsidiaries and subdivisions, including the ones with foreign currency

10.   For Dynamics GP prospects in Brazil.  Microsoft Business Solutions contracted our company back in 2004 to localize Great Plains Dynamics GP version 7.5 for Brazilian market: Portuguese language and Brazilian tax code.  These were turbulent times, later on Microsoft recommended Navision or Dynamics NAV to be the ERP of choice for Brazilian companies and multinational corporations, having local subsidiaries in Brazil.  And again later one Dynamics AX or former Axapta was localized for Brazilian ERP and MRP software market

11.   Current 2009 USA and World Recession and its impact on ERP systems sales, implementation, support and customizations.  We have no illusions now and are in cost reduction mode.  If you heard from your current Great Plains Consultant, Reseller or Partner that your effective rates are 0 per hour or higher, please feel free to call us to see if we could save your ERP and accounting system support money

15.   Great Plains Business Portal Support.  BP is solid and stable in our opinion since its version 3.0 (for Dynamics GP 9.0) and BP 10.0 for Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0.  It is now solid Microsoft Sharepoint web application.  Alba Spectrum supports and implements such modules are BP Humane Resources extensions, Order management (including ecommerce catalogue support), Purchasing management, Electronic Document delivery

If so, then you must learn how to focus on your computer consulting firm’s profit and bottom line.

In this article, we’ll look at 7 profit secrets and strategies you can use in your computer consulting business, to ensure that you are able to balance your clients’ small business IT needs against your own computer consulting company’s profitability challenges.

Origins of the Problem

While focusing on your computer consulting profits may sound simple enough at first glance, this business-focused discipline often eludes many a computer consulting firm.

This usually happens because many computer consulting business owners fall in love the technology gadgetry, and get seduced by seemingly attractive reseller channel programs, at the expense of their business’ profit.

At the end of the day however, your computer consulting company is a business… not a charity and not a hobby. And your computer consulting company must be run like a business.

Profit Secret #1: Show motivation with your small business computer consulting clients.
To avoid being labeled as just another clueless geek, you need to position your computer consulting services to be more in line with those of a virtual CIO for hire. So always be on the look out for new ways to enhance your clients’ businesses… not just fix broken desktops and servers.

Profit Secret #2: Be dedicated to the task and relentless in your pursuit to improve the status quo.
Because it takes a lot of work to land the best computer consulting clients, you need to focus on lifetime customer value… not just one-shot-deal sales. So always remember that your proposed or recently implemented computer consulting technology solution isn’t a one-shot deal. This kind of long-term vision and planning requires tremendous staying power and perseverance… which often escapes many computer consulting business owners.

Profit Secret #3: Don’t be afraid to be creative with your client engagements.
Small business technology solutions often need to stay within relatively modest budgets. And your computer consulting solutions must work without the need for in-house IT staff. To satisfy these challenges, don’t be afraid to think outside of the box when appropriate.

Profit Secret #4: Evaluate how your clients’ systems, both paper- and computer-based, function today.
As part of your virtual CIO role, look at how these existing clients systems are meeting or not meeting present and future needs. Most of this work will be done during IT audits… another key computer consulting profit secret that can really help to separate you from the pack of mediocrity.

Profit Secret #5: Put yourself in your clients’ shoes and think about what THEIR clients need from them.
Yes, as a computer consulting business owner, you need to have good people skills and a certain degree of empathy for your clients’ business problems. But an even more advanced computer consulting business owner doesn’t just stop at understanding their clients’ business problems. The virtual CIO really digs in and learns about their clients’ customers’ business problems… one layer down on the value chain.

Profit Secret #6: Keep up with advances and new versions.
As virtual CIO for your computer consulting clients, your clients depend on your firm to advise them on what tools can better help their businesses grow. So while you can’t allow this R&D and training to consume and devour all of your scarce weekly schedule, you do need to stay a few steps ahead of your clients’ IT needs at all times.

Profit Secret #7: Summarize and share that information with your clients.
The essence of your R&D and training should focus on one major objective: will this new platform or tool add value to your computer consulting clients’ existing or future installations? And how you can best summarize this information, in layperson language that non-technical clients can understand?

The Bottom Line
Your computer consulting firm’s needs to be your client’s virtual IT department can often be at odds with your computer consulting firm’s need to be profitable. A big part of this problem happens because computer consulting business owners fall in love with technology, at the expense of their marketing and sales activities.

To make sure you don’t fall into this same strap, which can kill your computer consulting profits, don’t go overboard with your training and R&D activities. Be sure to keep business development activities in your weekly schedule… EVERY week. If you want to keep your computer consulting profits as healthy as possible, make sure that you’re proactive in your marketing and sales activities… dig the well for computer consulting profits BEFORE you’re thirsty.

The IT Consulting Industry Can be Given in Main Three Categories as Per the Needs:

1. Professional services firms: These consulting firms maintain large professional employees and provide their specialized services to many global businesses across the world. These firms or companies also command high bill rates. In order to provide the best services and maintain the timeliness, such firms are increasingly sourcing their employees from low-cost nations.

2. Staffing firms: These firms hire experts on a short term basis. Work as a backbone by providing quality workforce for the development of organizations. Such firms charge considerably for providing the right person at the right place.

3. Independent consultants: These consultants work independently to enhance the productivity of an organization and increase the profit of the company. These people are experts and keep a sharp eye on the developments of the information technology and software world to provide the best solutions to meet the emerging challenges.

Viruses – A virus is a small piece of software that replicates itself. A virus might attach itself to a program such as a spreadsheet program. Each time the spreadsheet program runs, the virus runs, too, and it has the chance to reproduce (by attaching to other programs) or wreak havoc. E-mail viruses – An e-mail virus moves around in e-mail messages, and usually replicates itself by automatically mailing itself to dozens of people in the victim’s e-mail address book. Worms – A worm is a small piece of software that uses computer networks and security holes to replicate itself. A copy of the worm scans the network for another machine that has a specific security hole. It copies itself to the new machine using the security hole, and then starts replicating from there, as well. Trojan horses – A Trojan horse is simply a computer program. The program claims to do one thing (it may claim to be a game, or a “free” piece of software) but instead does damage when you run it (it may erase your hard disk). Trojan horses have no way to replicate automatically. They are called Trojan horses because they are sometimes disguised as normal computer programs.

Spyware:

Spyware is defined as any software that covertly gathers user information through the user’s Internet connection without his or her knowledge, usually for advertising purposes. Spyware applications are typically bundled as a hidden component of freeware or shareware programs that can be downloaded from the Internet; however, it should be noted that the majority of shareware and freeware applications do not come with spyware. Once installed, the spyware monitors user activity on the Internet and transmits that information in the background to someone else. Spyware can also gather information about e-mail addresses and even passwords and credit card numbers.

Spyware often causes “pop-up” advertisements to appear on the user’s screen, without the user’s knowledge or consent. These pop-ups can be quite a headache, and spyware itself often slows down computers to a slow crawl.

Because spyware exists as independent executable programs, they have the ability to monitor keystrokes, scan files on the hard drive, snoop other applications, such as chat programs or word processors, install other spyware programs, read cookies, change the default home page on the Web browser, consistently relaying this information back to the spyware author who will either use it for advertising/marketing purposes or sell the information to another party. When the home page of your web browser changes without your knowledge or consent, this is referred to a home-page hijacking.

Sometimes, a computer is so badly infected with viruses and spyware that the harmful software cannot be removed without completely formatting the hard drive (deleting all files) and reinstalling the operating system. Now is when you contact your computer repair store.  Ask for the computer virus repair technician.  The tech will offer a data backup solution and note which programs you had installed, and then perform a BFR (Backup, Format, Reinstall, Restore) on your system. When the virus and spyware removal is completed, ask for instructions on how to run the programs that were installed to prevent viruses and spyware from compromising your system in the future.
