Using new technologies and online solutions are vital to building your business. At the free 90-minute non-technical seminars, Invest NI e-business advisors will illustrate the ways of implementing low or no cost technology into your company, that will reduce the money you spend in doing business and increase your revenue opportunities.

The seminar will cover the following:

• Easy to implement technology that saves time and opportunity costs
• Building customer relationships that actually deliver revenue opportunities
• Using online in a way that positively impacts the perception of your business
• Providing more value to your customers and partners by making your business more accessible
• The real business impact of the latest technologies: Blogging; social networking, Twitter; YouTube
• Planning and measuring your ROI and the non-cash investment required to make these technologies work
• How a local company successfully implemented their IT project – in their own words
• Using the Invest Ni eSolutions Centre to help make the technology ‘come to life’ for your business

Using scenario based presentation and live demos, the seminar will engage non-technical business people and provide a kick start to understanding how these technologies can be applied in any business.

According to Suzanne Hill of Handel Export “We have worked with Quadriga Consulting to build our own social media presence. We can see the opportunities that social media can bring to exporters that wish to extend their reach into international buying communities through social media tools. By working with Quadriga we can create export focused blogs, Twitter streams, and other social media outreach approaches – in local languages and reflecting local nuances. We can also ensure that messages reach the right people on the right networks”.

Jeffrey Peel of Quadriga Consulting said, “Handel Export is a highly respected export consultancy that focuses on key export markets for UK companies. The company recognises that social media – blogs, social networking and Web 2.0 applications - are transforming the export process. We have decided to partner with Handel to take advantage of the company’s great reputation in international markets, and multi-lingual skills”.
