the challenge, the opportunity
Companies determined to build a competitive advantage rely heavily on "cutting edge" computing and telecommunications technologies. For many, enhanced data management and effective communication is the key to creating a competitive edge.

Computer and telecommunications companies compete aggressively for market share. While this competition fosters constant product improvement, it often results in a lack of compatibility with other provider's software and equipment. As a result, user companies may have a variety of systems in place, each capable of performing its' unique functions, but unable to effectively interact with other software. As in the human dynamic, competition may enhance individual performance while adversely affecting communication.

This lack of interactivity of critical systems is a challenge to the effort to create an effective information management system that is tailored to a particular corporate environment.

Also at work is something of an "upgrade mania" that in many cases has a significant impact on productivity. While the benefits of faster processors, increased memory, and improved on-line transmission rates may be immediately felt, other upgrades and new products can have a less desirable impact. While that new operating system or "state of the art" accounting software can be purchased at relatively low cost, its application can also result in a significant cost to the user. The magnitude of product changes will have an obvious impact on productivity, analogous to that of "retooling" in a manufacturing environment. It may take the user some time to get ahead of the learning curve. Information management systems may need to be adapted to accommodate the new program, and with the increased complexity and arcane nature of the technology the company may need to develop its own "in house" technical support. Hence, the cost to benefit ratio becomes an important consideration.

It is in this corporate context that Gator Information Technologies Inc. provides a valuable service. With its expertise in information management and organizational design, it is able to create comprehensive and highly interactive systems that are tailored to the specific data management needs of its clients.
