The Attivo Blog

I’m coming across more and more articles talking about economic recovery. Three in the last couple of weeks: Wall Street Journal, NY Times and LA Times. These articles are talking about what type of rebound to expect. In the WSJ article, Dean Maki, chief U.S. economist at Barclays Capital is quoted, "You can't find a single deep recession that has been followed by a moderate recovery." The article also states: Some forecasters expect the economy to grow at a 3-5% annual rate through the end of this year. I’m in the big rebound camp; I’m taking steps to position our company to maximize the recovery. We’ve focused on improving our processes so that we can serve our current customers better and win more new business. We’ve overhauled our sales process, developed a new SEO strategy for our web site and are re-working the marketing plan. In addition, we’ve streamlined our operational processes. These changes have made us more effective, as well as more efficient. Not only are we in a good position to take full advantage of the recovery, we’ve also been able to cut costs and improve profits. In coming posts, I’ll share the details of the steps that we’ve taken at Attivo. We’re actually planning an upcoming webinar to showcase a “Look Inside Attivo” so you can actually see these best practices in action. I would welcome any comments on the subject. Here’s an interesting case study on how we’ve helped one of our clients, Danchuk Manufacturing, to streamline their operations, position them for growth, and reduce their operating costs. “We achieved an 80% reduction in labor cost and administrative overhead related to our growing eCommerce sales. We’re truly positioned for substantial growth and cost containment.” -Steve Brown, General Manager, Danchuk Manufacturing Download the Danchuk Case Study and learn more about Cost Cutting with ERP System Integration.
