SMALL BUSINESS GAINED ABOUT 20 EXTRA HOURS A WEEK
EMPLOYING MICROSOFT OFFICE 2010
~ Leveraging the
Right Technology Allows Small Businesses to Focus on
Their Core Competencies ~
May 2011
(Redmond, WA, Tuesday, May
17, 2011) - This week marks National Small Business
Week, celebrated every year since 1963, to recognize
the contributions of small businesses to the economic
well-being of America. Small businesses drive innovation.
However, they face unique challenges to do so. Small
businesses need every hour they can to maximize their
business opportunities, and as the economy continues
to fluctuate, they are looking at ways to cut costs,
but still give workers the tools they need to get the
job done.
aNb Media discovered firsthand
that having the right technology can make all the difference
in the world. Well-known as the expert in the $20 billion
toy and licensing industry, aNb Media increased its
productivity and gained about 20 extra hours a week
- the equivalent of an additional part-time employee
- when it upgraded to Office 2010. Prior to deploying
the software, employees experienced spam and inefficient
document sharing in daily tasks. Before Office 2010
there weren't enough hours in the work week to do what
it is doing today.
A recent survey from MarketTools,
Inc. and Microsoft Office found that one-third of workers
spend half of their day or more reading and replying
to work email. Using tools in Microsoft Outlook such
as Schedule View, Quick Steps and Conversation View
allow users to be more efficient with email management
and prioritize tasks that need immediate attention.
Features and functions of Office 2010 give small businesses
the ability to focus on their core competencies, allowing
them the time to capitalize on real-time business opportunities.
