Technologies In Business

      The computer has introduced the world to the internet. The internet has brought us into a new age of development. Through computer technology and internet development, business are rapidly developing and at the same speed changing. Technology has become very important in the business world. No matter small or big business. Technology has made a tremendous impact on company’s processes and operational effectiveness. Companies have been reliant with technology for analysis, communication and advertisement. Most importantly, technologies have affected how people find employment and how companies locate qualified candidates.

The business world is using technology in so many ways, for example, technology is used to simplify communication, it is used to promote and market services and products, it is used to invent new products and services, technology is used for human resource management and it is also being used to understand consumer needs and wants, and so much more.

1.Easy Product Launch: Nowadays, things have become simple,through email subscriptions, companies will have data for most consumers,So if they introduce a new item or service. The company will draft one email with details about a new service or product and that message will be delivered to all consumers in a minute.

2.Product or service surveys: A business can conduct a survey using social networks and provide users with incentives like ‘’gift cards’’.This produces a quick response and saves the company money and time.

3.Video Conferencing:Gone are the days when you had to wait for your boss to be in the meeting to start a presentation. New technology enables your boss to be in the business meeting.

4.Social interaction with consumers: With the recent invention of social networks like Facebook and twitter, a business can create business pages then get followers for these pages. The process is so simple and free. For some business, they set a budget for building a fun base for their pages, so they use these pages to update and communicate with their followers.

5.Use of digital networks : Phones and printers are all digitized, not like before when communication was hindered by telephone lines. During bad weather, most the lines would go off. Now with satellite and broadband transmissions, you can communicate with anyone at work or off work via their mobile phones. You can also send a file to a printer while you are at home and someone in the office gets the printout.

6.Use of emails: Even though social networks are trying to replace email communication; there is certain information which users cannot exchange via social networks. So email services like yahoo mail, Hotmail, and Gmail. Have eased communication. It’s now very rare to find a person writing a letter because that will involve posting it to a postal office and paying delivery fees, 

which is not the case when you use electronic mail.

I’ll conclude that Now-a-days technology has improving much higher. People should do smart work instead of hard work using technologies available. If we implement these things in office or business the work load will be reduced and time as well as money will be saved.
