Fashion and technology…more similarities than you would think.

The sun is shining in California this morning, the birds are chirping outside my window and my mind is speeding down my virtual runway. 

Have my teams executed as expected?  Which organizational touch points need my attention for the day?  At the top of my list . . .  actual company revenue targets for the month of April, sales department objective attainment, project management profitability analysis and, of course, what is the weather so I can pick out the perfect dress?

Luckily, my companion mentions my weather concerns are easily addressed by an iPhone app.  He solved one of my  top items in less than two minutes. Access to pertinent information at his fingertips — I just love technology. 

Once the perfect dress is identified, my remaining thoughts are solved with SharePoint executive dashboards.  Real-time, dynamic data pulled from my accounting application, my contact management application and my professional services automation tool.  You see, I have already defined the metrics that matter most to me. SharePoint delivers this information, allowing me to make educated decisions with specific information about the business.  All the while, I am fashionably prepping for the day.

I can view profitability metrics, gauge sales performance and review dynamic pipeline on my iPad – securely.   Every project, every milestone, every piece of information I need is right at my fingertips. Just like the perfect pair of earrings or the bangles that make the couture sparkle, SharePoint sets the tone for the day and enables me for success.

Just like the perfect little black dress, it’s all about the fit, and I can tell you that SharePoint fits seamlessly into any business. If you’re like me, seeing is believing which is why I’m giving a presentation in Burlingame, CA on May 24th to share my firsthand experiences with SharePoint and demonstrate the business process automation features.
