In the posts that will follow, I invite the owners and operators of small businesses to join me in discovering how you can benefit from a technology revolution that is happening right now, and which will transform the way you use technology to grow and operate your business.
Who I am
I’m Jim Donlon, the owner of My Office Expert, based in Virginia. I have helped many people create new information systems that made their organizations more efficient, insightful, and even innovative. It is incredibly rewarding to create with them something new that has such impact. In those experiences I have found again and again that the greatest value comes from making use of IT systems already at hand to automate the mundane, to integrate separate tasks into a process that fits perfectly, or to analyze and visualize data in revealing ways. And because I have a passion for artificial intelligence and other problem-solving technologies, I have delighted in adding into these simple projects the advanced technology that turns ordinary office automation into business intelligence.

I may even tell some stories about the humble beginnings of emerging office intelligence technologies. Exploring how these things started will help us better evaluate if it is ready for prime-time today.

My commitment to you
I will choose topics and engage in them in such a way that you, the business owner, will be able to understand, evaluate, and perhaps put into action new ideas to make your business work smarter. That means I will keep the “techspeak” to an absolute minimum. Where I do refer to technologies or to concepts that require definition, I will explain briefly and/or link to relevant content that I have personally chosen for you. And of course, I will keep it fun!
Blog posts will be open for your comments. I look forward to meeting you and welcome your reactions and suggestions. Now, where to start? 😊
