New way of looking at “Working from Home“

Technological advances have opened the door to new ways of working, one of them is working from home. Nowadays work should be seen as “something that is done and not a place where one goes”. Telework, where feasible,  does allow supervision of employees, without falling into surveillance.

How is working remotely implemented?

Telework as a modality based on three fundamental aspects: labor flexibility, teamwork and the use of new technologies. It is a talent management model in which the employer offers the necessary tools for employees to carry out their tasks based on results.

How to work from home – 5 recommendations to implement working from home

To prevent the spread of COVID-19 the following recommendations can be taken into consideration to implement teleworking without affecting the results, productivity and most importantly, the health of the workers:

1. ESTABLISH KEY INDICATORS FOR COLLABORATORS

Work under individual and group goals that are measurable and visible to all team members.

Recommendation: OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) is a methodology created by exCEO Intel.

2. TECHNOLOGY IN YOUR FAVOR, WORK IN THE CLOUD

The use of cloud serves not only to have constant open communication channels, but also to optimize efforts with productivity tools hosted there. These tools that integrate with calendar, email and others.

Recommendation: tools like Asana, Slack, Google Docs, Monday, Jira and Office 365, among others.

3. PROPER WORK SPACE

Encouraging employees to design and create a suitable workspace in their homes, since having an ergonomic, clean, tidy and comfortable space will allow them to feel at home while the epidemic is under control.

4. CORPORATE VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORKS

VPNs are designed to be used by a subgroup of employees that need access to business applications (on premises Accounting, CRM, ERP and other software systems) apart from just data stored on portable or cloud locations.

5. OVERCOMMUNICATION

One of the biggest challenges of remote work is connecting with coworkers. Therefore, it is essential to constantly communicate to the rest of the team what is being worked on and coordinate. It is highly recommended to replace calls with video calls.

Recommendation: Zoom, Slack, Skype, Hangouts Meet and Microsoft Teams.

QLED TVs

Hello everyone and welcome to our blog.

Today I am going to introduce you the next innovation in TV. The new Samsung QLED TVs!!

What is QLED? Samsung’s new ‘Quantum Dot’ TV?

Here is what you need to know.

Samsung has revealed its next generation of TVs, which it is calling the QLED TV Series.

Using so-called “Quantum Dot” technology,QLED marks a major shift forward in TV picture quality and colour.

But what is QLED and how does it make a difference to the picture quality? Here’s everything you need to know about the new technology.

What is a QLED TV?

QLED is a technology that combines LED screens with Nano-technology. The name QLED was given by Samsung.

The ‘Q’ stands for Quantum Dot. Quantum Dot LEDs are similar to the older OLEDs (Organic Light Emitting Diodes), but Samsung claims these are far superior.

What does a QLED TV do?

QLED screens use Nano crystals that semi-conduct to create amazing colours.

The screen is brighter, the viewing angles better and the blacks appear deeper. The overall outcome is an incredible true-to-life picture on screen.

Haven’t you heard of Quantum Dot technology in TVs before?

To be honest, Quantum Dot technology has been around for a few years.

The reason you are hearing about it now is because the technology has finally reached an advance level and now you can really see the improvement in picture quality.

Will all TVs end up having QLED?

Samsung is the first manufacturer that uses this technology, and so far there have been no announcements from other TV manufacturers.

That could change, but so far LG and Panasonic have announced that they are sticking to OLED.

What is ERP and why is it important for my Business?

The term ERP may sound like a complex and cumbersome software system. It may be a bit like that, but today, even small and medium-sized businesses can use an ERP systems to reduce their operating costs, increase their revenue, and more generally manage all of their available resources.

ERP definition

The ERP acronym comes from the initials of Enterprise Resource Planning, which can be rephrased  as a “business planning system”. On the internet there are countless articles on ERP. However, the most prevalent definition is that ERP is a software system that is in charge of managing all of the business’s operations with the ultimate goal of increasing business performance (Wikipedia definition of ERP). This is achieved through the rational organization and utilization of company data and resources (human resources, material, financial resources, etc.)

ERP: Historical review

Since its inception in the 1990s, where ERP started by introducing accounting and human resources / payroll operations into a MRP (Manufacturing Resource Planning), it has evolved technologically at a rapid pace. Thus, modern ERPs have now incorporated other capabilities such as CRM, warehouse management (WMS), EDI, and Integrated Quality Management (IQM).

Many confuse ERP systems with commercial software packages. However, ERP is far more than an accounting management system.

The difference with them is that an ERP processes and exploits all business data, supporting all its functions, ranging from financial services and human resources management to supply chain and customer relationships.

All of the above is made possible through a single database that records all transactions and business data that are tracked in real-time (or virtually real) sometimes.

Briefly the benefits of ERP

An ERP solution helps a business to:

• Increase its revenue
• Improve its effectiveness by integrating various tasks (Finance & Accounting, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Customer Relationship Management, Human Resources, BI / Reporting)
• Increase the productivity of its people by automating its processes
• Reduce its operating costs
• Enhance the security of its business data
• Draw and exploit information from different parts of the company

What does an ERP system involve?

In essence, an ERP system consists of individual embedded applications (known as modules), which the company uses to gather, store, manage and, ultimately, interpret data for many (ideally all) of its activities. Some of the modules of an ERP system are:

• Commercial management
• Financial management
• Revenue-Expenses
• General Accounting
• Fixed Assets Management
• Warehouse management
• Human Resources Management (HRM)
• Payroll Distribution
• Management Supply
• Chain Management
• Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
• Retail Management Product Design
• Production Management
• Managing Services
• Financial Accounting
• Sales & Marketing
• Invoicing

This structure offers a lot of flexibility in an ERP solution, since the solution itself is customized each time according to your needs.

For example, a store that only sells products can only install modules that concern it, such as accounting, warehouse management and orders. On the other hand, a factory also needs production, raw materials and suppliers.

Indeed, it is important to emphasize that each company differs in its functions from one another, even if they belong to the same industry. The ability of a well-designed ERP – such as SoftOne – to adapt to the customer’s needs, and without much time and cost, is an advantage that can make a difference when properly implemented and deployed.

In addition, a properly designed ERP should be able to meet the company’s future needs. In the same way and with the same ease, additional modules could be enabled in the future.

10 Benefits of Cloud Computing for Your Business

Cloud Computing is the use of remote servers over the Internet to store, manage and process data.
Cloud hosting provides businesses with myriad of benefits and in this post we will take a look at ten of the most important ones.

1. Cloud hosting can save your company money

An advantage of cloud computing is the reduction in hardware cost. Using cloud computing you don’t need your own hardware as everything is hosted on your provider’s servers.

So you won’t need to pay for space, power, physical security, insurance and air-conditioning or need to cover the costs of ongoing maintenance.

2. Cloud scalability and pay as you go pricing

If you you suddenly need extra computing resources to cover a short term demand for your business, there is no need to buy, install and configure an expensive new server.

With cloud computing you can increase your computing capacity instantly and only pay for the extra resources you have used.

3.  Strategic competitive advantage

Cloud Computing can give you a strategic competitive advantage over your competitors who have not yet adopted this technology since deployment time in cloud computing is zero and applications that are critical for your business’ growth and success can be instantly online.

4. High Availability

Cloud hosting decreases the possibility of server failure. The cloud’s hyper-approach design guards against everything from hard disk failure to an entire server failure, enabling mission-critical applications to be available all the time.

5. Very fast performance

Cloud computing offers high-performance servers with technology such as powerful CPUs and super fast SSD drives.

Also, load balancing is used to route client requests in a way that maximizes speed and capacity utilization. Therefore, when servers are busy the load is distributed so that no single server suffers from performance problems.

6. Get your apps running quicker

Cloud-based applications have significantly reduced the time required for successful execution. Most cloud-based applications can be used instantly after signup.

7. Increased security

With cloud hosting, your business is protected against hacking and internal data theft. Cloud providers are required to comply with a range of stringent security regulations in order to protect their customers’ data.

8. Flexible working

Staff can access files both in and out of the workplace, enabling them to work remotely or in the office. Many companies use this to give employees more flexible working conditions.

Staff can access the company’s system using web-enabled devices such as smartphones and laptops and can collaborate in real-time with others by sharing synchronized files and using online conferencing.

9. Environmental Friendly

Cloud computing reduces the overall impact on the environment.

By moving your system to the cloud you won’t need your own data center and can significantly reduce your own carbon footprint.You won’t need to power up the servers or keep them cool, you won’t even need a data center room which needs to be lit.

10. Future enabled

With the growth of the Internet of Things, the amount of big data that businesses are collecting and processing is going to exponentially increase .

Big data analytics provides vital information for the business development and those companies who have the resources to carry it out are the ones who will gain most.
