Business
Benefits of Community Involvement Most small

between business and community. By mixing the two, all sides
benefit - in a win-win situation.

Use
of Hi-Tech in Lo-Tech Business
- Ohain brings a simple approach to using technology as a tool,
without creating a technical environment.
Such tools as
Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and Access can be exploited
much greater than most small business or non-profits currently
use them.
Networking
can often provide a vastly improved office environment -
including the use of wireless access points for desktop and
laptop computers.
When necessary, macros and other programming
techniques are used to create "turn-key" office
environments. This sets the business up with
custom-tailored programs at a fraction of the cost of
complicated "programming".
