Get your Elbows Dirty with BI

I love listening to the Kane Show on Hot 99.5 during my morning commutes into the office.  So I couldn’t resist using Arnetta’s saying in the title of this month’s blog.   When someone calls in to the Kane Show saying that today is there last day at their company they like playing a clip from Arnetta.  In my case it’s not my last day at KTL Solutions but a job change within the company.

Five Steps to Keeping Software Selection Focused

I often speak with owners, managers and staff at organizations struggling with growth or a changing business model who sense “things are out of control” and believes there “must be a better way” to manage their business.  Many reach out to technology as a corrective path to this “better way”.  With so many different technology solutions on the market, each offering a countless number of unique attributes, sorting through them and selecting the right solution for your organization can be an extremely time-consuming and even mind-numbing task.  I’ve often seen this process become unfocused, frustrating your attempts to improve things.  I have boiled a technology selection process to five focused steps.

It’s actually quite simple; you upgrade your current system.

2015 KTL Office Holiday Party

On Friday, December 12th, KTL Solutions continued on with their yearly office holiday party tradition. Renting out a cozy room in an Italian Restaurant not far from their office, the vast majority of KTL employees began filling the space with their significant others trailing behind. It wasn’t long before the open bar was packed to the nines with good cheers and chatter from all that were welcome.

Pleased with the outcome of the attendees (employees, family, friends, and many local clients), Kim and Tim ushered everyone along to tend to their seated 3 course dinners. The room was filled with holiday cheer as the candlelight set a warm and family atmosphere, the food left a delicious aroma lingering in the air, and the laughter reminded us that KTL is a family unit powered by it’s devoted employees.

KTL-etc: Your Cloud, Your Way.

Over the last several years we have heard a lot about the cloud: How easy it is to move business applications to the cloud; how IT departments are making this part of their strategic business plans; and the different initiatives coming about on how to save companies money and gain efficiencies.  IT is now able to off load hardware and software administrative and resource overhead to hosting providers.  This is empowering them to not only concentration on, but to be a PART of, strategic technology planning efforts for their organizations.  This is an overall benefit to the organization, and I believe an unexpected but welcomed result of the cloud movement.

These are AP Fast Entry, Payroll Security, and Advanced Distributions.
