Much like during the ‘Roaring Twenties’, the community today is experiencing a general feeling of discontinuity associated with modernity and a break with traditions; everything seems to be feasible through modern technology!

Online software environments such as Salesforce.com and the Force.com development platform, combined with fresh implementation techniques, are able to deliver powerful cloud-based software applications to everyone, not just large multinationals. This new era allows a whole new way of working and changes the way business can be done.  It is an exciting new world that can deliver a range of benefits including….

• higher return on IT investment by leveraging cost effective online business applications,
• greater productivity by allowing staff to work smarter, not harder - working 9-5 is an antiquated concept that results in wastage,
• the ability to work anywhere in the world, a 90’s dream that is only now a reality with today's technology,
• a more satisfying and relaxed work environment, making work more fun and more productive at the same time,
• make more informed decisions with full visibility available to authorized users.

Just like the automobile bought freedom and new economic power to the middle class during the 20s due to mass production, cost effective cloud-based business and social applications are releasing the economic potential of small and medium enterprises today.  These new technologies not only bring benefits to the individual but also allow a rethink of the way in which work is structured and performed.  While the technology shift has occurred, only a few companies have made the necessary changes to leverage it, instead settling for the conservative approach of tweaking existing processes that were designed for old fashion technologies.

S. P. Keasey Trading Co. hopes to educate the community to help businesses plan for and adopt new ways of working to fit the new technology environment; in fact, we are showing the way by ‘walking the talk’ in our own business.  In doing so, we intentionally exceed the traditional, somewhat conservative, scope of change to highlight the benefits available.  Larger businesses may only be able to adjust slightly but smaller more agile businesses can make a leap of faith into the new era.  Either way, cloud technology offers greatly increased employee satisfaction and productivity as well as big improvements in the business bottom line.  It truly is #TheCloudEra.
