Achieve Your Dreams

Okay the only reason I chose the title "Achieve Your Dreams" is because everybody is talking about the Olympics today and I wanted to fit in.  This post has absolutely nothing to do with the Olympics, while it does have a great deal to do with your dreams.

And by dreams I don't mean what you want to be when you grow up, or the mountain you hope to one day summit.  I mean the dreams for your business: the times during your workday when you start your sentences with "I wish there was a way to {fill in the blank}."  These are the dreams that I like to make come true.

Whenever you think there's a better way to do things, chances are there is.  Whether you want to improve communication amongst your staff, better inform your customers, handle support requests more efficiently, or plan out your projects better, more often than not you can use the web to greatly improve your life (in business that is...I can't fix your personal life, unfortunately).

There are a number of existing solutions out there for just about every possible situation.  I've talked before about the ProWorkflow project management web application.  It allows project teams to collaborate, track time, plan schedules, and more, whether they are working in the same building or scattered througout the world.  This is just one example of how someone's professional life can improve through a web-based solution.  In this case, the life of a project manager or team member.

But what if you have a very specific need and can't find an existing solution that meets it?  That's where a custom web application built by Lift Development can make your life great (again, your professional life).

Let's say you own a distribution company and you want to find a way to keep your sales people updated on product quantities, pricing, etc, without having them call in all the time.  Put this info on the web.  We could develop a custom inventory application where the rep can simply log in from their computer and check.  Better yet: we could develop a mobile web application where they can simply check directly from their web-enabled phone.

So what are your dreams?  Do you want to put your scheduling functions online?  Would a web-based knowledgebase application free up the time of your customer service representatives who are bombarded with the same questions every day?  Could a powerful content management system help your company keep its website relevant, useful, and fresh?

One of the goals of Lift Development is to be your "Michael Phelps" of web-based solutions.  I specialize in developing custom web applications that solve everyday business needs.  If you've got a "dream" for something big or small, let me know and I can work with you to achieve it.
