Hi all
For a limited time only (and we really mean limited) we decide to run a summer sale. For £49.99 or $79.99 you can get iQ Desk running on your website. This is a really no brainier. For less than £50 you get a software that will help you run you business efficiently.
And if you prefer to run it on our server you just pay £3 or $5 per month. This is 10p per day! 10p and you get iQ Desk.
Hi all,
We wanted to put a video that gives a demonstration what iQ Desk can do. We thought that it should be relative easy task, but it wasn’t. To find the right software that records the screen in a good quality and then let you edit the result wasn’t easy. In fact it was a nightmare.
But in the end we manage to find one which is not perfect but do the job. So today we have uploaded the video to the main page and to YouTube.
you can also watch it here 
Enjoy!
Hi all,
I am reading a really good book about stock and shares trading: “Come into my trading room” By Alexander Elder. This is a really good book that explains in plain words the difference between successful traders and those who keep losing money.
In a way there is a lot in common between being a good trader and being a successful business owner. One paragraph in the book explains it very well:
“Good traders keep good records. They keep them not just for their accountants but as a tool to learning and discipline. If you don’t have good records, how can you measure your performance, rate your progress, and learn from your mistakes? Those who don’t learn from the past are doomed to repeat it.”
Wait a minute! This is what iQ Desk is all about! It helps you keep records of your projects and costs. And in the long run helps you make better decisions.
Back to the book, I really recommend it even if you don’t intend to jump in to the market. Because being a trader in away is like being a sole trader or small business owner and you can learn a lot from each other’s experience.
Hi all,
A lot of people, from all over the world have been asking us to localize iQ Desk to their language. We got requests to run iQ Desk in French, German, Hebrew and even Japanese.
We think as well that it is much easier to run a small business with a software that talks the same language as you do. So we are developing a languages interface so it will be easy to choose which language you would like to install iQ Desk. We are working hard on this feature and we are hoping that we will be able to launch it on beginning of July.
For those who bought the English version and would want to change the language we will give them an upgrade for free. Of course!
Have a nice weekend,
iQ Desk team
I got a call from a friend of mine yesterday, she is the managing director of a very lucrative self-help company. She is one hell of entrepreneur,who made millions from a great idea she had in the 90s, and literally is changing people’s lives every day. But I will tell you about her some other time. She was reading one of my earlier posts and was a bit baffled by the term “Business Automation” or in it’s the proper way “Business Process Automation” or BPA.
Let me give you a bit of a background on what it means. If you ask someone from the industry to explain this term to you, you will probably hear many confusing words such as interface, linkage, system functionality. It gets even worse. Six Sigma, Lean Six Sigma, redeployment of integrated tools, re-engineering of renovated modules…blah blah blah, this is corporate speech to basically say this, business automation is looking at what a company does and coming up with a software that does it better. Much more simple hey? you got to love corporate speech.
Business Process Automation is a brilliant thing. If you are a medium-sized or a large company, you should definitely come up with a plan of automation. The time and money spent initially will pay it’s worth and much much more very very quickly. It will also minimise risk and errors that are caused by normally very tired and sometimes very bored employees.
For a freelancer, it should be a lot simpler and a lot cheaper! don’t be fooled into spending a lot of money on fancy IT solutions. Just follow this simple exercise. Write down everything that you do on a daily basis. (In corporate jargon Map out your processes). Think about how you can do them quicker and better. (In corporate jargon come up with a suggested technological specification for your requirements). Then buy a software that does just that. (In corporate jargon purchase an integrated solution). See, you can do exactly what the big corporates do but with a lot less meetings and headaches. Good-luck!
Well almost. iQ Desk is not a software for developing websites (like Dreamweaver) but if your business need a small business software and a website we can help. Together with S-Development we can offer you a complete package for all your Internet needs.
