    Ideas into brilliant solutions<\/h2>\n

    You have an idea of how your business should run.  Now\nwe need to work with you to implement that and offer continuing local support. 
    \n
    Hawaii is\nGeographically (Location) and Chronologically (Time Zone) challenged for local\nbusinesses.  
    <\/b>\n
    Noon in Hawaii is anywhere from 2 to 3 hours from the west\ncoast and 5 to 6 from the east coast.  And if you are relying on mainland\nsupport, it is challenging at the least.  
    \n
    Once you get to them, you are often put on hold and can wait\nhours.  Weekends and Holidays? Forget it.  
    Your business can suffer serious consequences.  Or you\nget a support company that is off shore, with not only bad connections, but\nthey also just read from a script and do not have any idea about your\nparticular company or business.  
    Can you afford the down time?

      Ideas into brilliant solutions<\/h2>\n

      Computer systems are very versatile.  However, many\npeople fail to realize that a person designed them with specific purposes in\nmind.  
      \n
      The computer system (hardware) is commonplace in today's\nworld, along with things like Microsoft Office. 
      \n
      Accounting \/ bookkeeping\nsoftware, CNC, and other specialized software, are a tottally different story.
      \n
      Someone somewhere designed the software to accomplish\nspecific tasks as they felt it should be done.  
      \n
      Think of it like ordering food at a restaurant.  Office\nsoftware like Word Processing, Spreadsheets, etc., is like eating at a\nBuffet.  You can pick and choose your menu, and most people do not use the\nvast majority of the power of each application.
      \n
      Go to an industry-specific application like Point of Sale,\nBookkeeping, or even design software, and it is like ordering a meal.  You\ncan make minor adjustments (Maybe), but it is done how the chef feels it should\nbe, and you have to make adjustments for that. It is the same with industry-specific\nsoftware.  You can make some minor adjustments within the parameters the\nauthor of the software allows you, otherwise you have to make adjustments in\nyour procdeures. 
      \n
      Navigating this maze of information to get the best fit for\nyou is not easy.  We team up with you to find it, help you implement it,\nhelp you learn it, and continue to support you with it.
