IT Help

Hi Simon

Best of luck with your new business.

Even though I out-Scrooge Scrooge any day of the week, I think your best bet is to pay an expert (eg a retired PA / Secretary?) to help you set up your office computer systems /records properly and efficiently first time round.

Spend some time thinking about what you need to be able to do.  As examples, in my business I need to be able to store and find in one place all info about a particular client., I need careers information, accounts data etc.

The best person to help you will be someone who spends a fair amount of time finding out about your new business, what information matters to you, your personal preferences for organising it and so on.  Expect to spend at least 2 hours on working with her / him to get your office systems sorted out and set up.

Good luck, Linda

Hi Simon, try here:

Skills and Learning - IT Courses - Bournemouth, Dorset, Poole

Agree with Linda, although it is important to master the basics yourself, for speed and efficiency a part time PA/secretary or even VA could be perfect. 

Thanks Linda, Thanks Steve. I had actually investigated both routes. The courses were booked but I am hopeful of getting some 1-2-1 help.

Kind regards

Simon
