BLOG: Happy New Year from Everyone at Hilltops IT!

A very Happy New Year to all our blog readers and welcome to 2009!!!

We're all very excited here for the new year - we have got several projects going on which will help serve our clients and software partner resellers even better!

Starting with the imminent update of our website which will offer a much more visual and more easily navigable menu for visitors to find what it is they are looking for. Let's be honest - the old site was looking pretty tired! We thought it was about time our site reflected the standard of site we have been producing for our clients!!! Written using the latest technologies and development techniques, the rewrite offers up some interesting opportunities for future expansion, but more on that when the time comes...

We're also significantly expanding the ConnectIT website Knowledgebase to publish a number of useful articles which have only previously been available internally or by contacting the support desk. Putting this information into the public domain should help end users and partner resellers alike in better understanding what the software can do to help their productivity and their businesses efficiency.

Also there's a whole bunch of innovations we have got in mind to expand the ConnectIT product range over and above the QuoteWerks, Sage 50 Accounts, Sage MAS 90, Sage MAS 200 and Microsoft Dynamics CRM links - look out for more on these later on in the year.

With the global recession, like most businesses we're expecting 2009 to be "interesting". What we're really looking forward to is turning businesses around with better use of their software systems. Introducing software solutions that not only organise people and improve the way the business works, but saves the users so much more time. Valuable time that they can spend looking to close more deals adding value to the business' bottom line.

We have seen it over and over again with clients how better contact management, quoting, ordering and invoicing systems which truly "talk" to one another properly can save sales people loads of time. Time they can then use to make another cold call, send another quote or follow-up another order.

The business intelligence reporting solutions which really help managers analyse where the business is performing well (and not so well), creating unique insights that can help in forward planning.

Website development (which we are increasingly getting involved in following the recruitment of a designer). Your "shop window" - which is becoming an increasingly important sales tool.
