TECHNOLOGY FOR THE WIN
With all the talk about AI – much of it positive, but there’s many concerns about how misuse might be our collective demise – it’s important to note that technology offers many advantages to all of us.
Did you know that NASA and the space program brought us many innovations and new technology, from the development of camera phones to solar cells? Now, think about the technology you and your customers use today – many positives, right?
In this issue, we focus on technology and how it can help your business, as well as those businesses owned/managed by your customers. As you read through the articles, consider the multitude of tasks you have to accomplish and ask yourself if there’s some type of technology that would make you more efficient in performing that task. If the answer to that question is “yes” then seek out that tech because it will enable you to focus on what you do best – serving your customers.
