iMedia is dedicated to using technology to help companies be more successful. Since 1998,\u00a0iMedia has been creating and optimizing workflows for companies to enable\u00a0them to conduct business\u00a0the way they desire.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many companies put together internal systems to manage their company through using off-the-shelf software and then change their entire workflow to match the off-the-shelf software. Some companies would rather implement their own workflow to accomplish their goals. For some functions within a company an off-the-shelf package may be the best choice. (For example QuickBooks, Mas-90\/100, Great Plains and others are wonderful accounting packages.) There is no need to \u201cReinvent the Wheel\u201d on many business processes.<\/p>\n

iMedia\u2019s primary business is the design of high level data management systems, interfacing them as appropriate to off the shelf software such as QuickBooks or other business software.<\/strong><\/p>\n

iMedia focuses on business first, technology second.<\/strong><\/p>\n

All decisions need to be business decisions. We are looking for return on investment in the shortest possible time.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are many web based business functions that are a good value, either running on your own server or through a subscription. WordPress, Drupal, and many other content management systems provide a mechanism for creating targeted web sites for business communications. Many times businesses end up with \u201cislands of information\u201d. Information from one \u201cisland\u201d must be retyped to transfer to another \u201cisland\u201d. This causes more labor, a delay in the time that information is available and the possibility of errors.<\/p>\n

Some companies use Microsoft Excel spreadsheets or Word to manage their information. This causes an \u201cisland of information\u201d that is single-user and can be prone to errors. Many times the \u201ckeeper of the spreadsheet\u201d feels he\/she\u00a0owns the spreadsheet and is\u00a0not good at sharing the information within the company.<\/p>\n

When we look at a company\u2019s workflow we look for Excel spreadsheets and Word documents because our engineered systems will\u00a0enable multi user simultaneous use, enforce data integrity and limit access by user role.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mobile Access<\/strong> has changed the optimum workflow. Now information can be input and accessed anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n

Global Positioning Service \u00a0(GPS)<\/strong> now allow us to keep track of locations automatically. This enables an entirely new filing system and the ability to track the location of assets, employees, partners, and customers.<\/p>\n

Notifications<\/strong> allow people to be notified on their phone or through email of any business event. Links can be provided within the notification to take the user to the important information. Notifications can dramatically speed up the responsiveness of a business.<\/p>\n

Automation of Applications<\/strong> can allow the engineered workflow to run other applications. There are a number of technologies such as Visual Basic, AppleScript, JavaScript, and others that allow scripts to be automatically generated and executed by other applications. This can remove repetitive\u00a0tasks from workflows and allow users to do higher level tasks.<\/p>\n

We create \u201cGlue\u201d software that brings all of the dissimilar business systems together!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
