Your Organization's Technology Needs Are Changing - How to Adapt
Tech Thoughts From Our CEO, Chantal
When I started Blue Fox, I was delighted at the prospect of working from home and running a virtual, tech-based company. My list of pros was something like this:
- Yoga pants
- No high heels on the daily
- Unfettered access to the fridge
- A schedule that works for me
- Yoga pants
But I never imagined that one of the benefits of running a firm like Blue Fox would be that our services would remain operational during a pandemic. Zombie apocalypse might've been higher up on my list than pandemic. Sheesh. Talk about unexpected wins.
Am I glad we're operational during COVID-19? Of course. Thankful every day we can continue to provide for our clients and our team. But even with all our tech tools and infrastructure, we've still had to adapt to new and different needs, internally and externally, during the last 6 months.
Technology needs in today's business world are only intermittently static. They evolve, right alongside your business model and your team, over time. You ignore your ever-changing needs in this area of your business at your own peril. Cumbersome, inefficient technologies can become a huge internal burden if left in place for too long. And then it becomes extremely costly (time and $$!) when you finally transition.
Our tagline at Blue Fox is Agile Accounting for Impact. Agile is a tech industry term, in case you're unfamiliar. It has to do with developing and deploying software incrementally and iteratively, rather than just dropping a completed product in the marketplace.
So if we at Blue Fox don't practice an agile approach for ourselves, and support our clients in doing so as well, we aren't living up to our mission. So that's why we've put together a special tech-oriented newsletter curated just for you.
Enjoy & stay safe and healthy,
