The choice of office location is one of the most important decisions we take in preparing the business plan. Depends on many factors, each will have to assess which aspects are most important to you and your business. I will tell you why in our case, our company will be in a Business Center (also known as Business Center, or more colloquially, as hotel companies).

Business skyscraper
What are the business centers?
You have chosen the place or area where you want to place your office. Find a decent sort and you are about to get it started: lease, supplies electricity, water, internet, gas and of course, purchase of furniture. Between security, supply and purchase of furniture we have spent a few thousand euros and a few days’ arrangements.

A business center has previously made these efforts and what we offer is a fully equipped office, with a range of additional services such as secretarial or customer service, we can contract freely according to our needs. Thus, we avoid large expenditures in the beginning (and reserve capital for liquidity, so badly needed will be) and to go recruiting services as the go require.

In its report on Fraud Worldwide, Kroll said in a survey of 800 executives found that the theft of information was the most complained of fraud, with a total of 27.3% of respondents who reported an incident of data theft in the last 12 months, compared with 18% who reported the theft of information in the past 12 months in 2009. In comparison, reports on the theft of physical assets were lower, with only 27.2% in the last 12 months.

Kroll applied the survey to 800 senior executives at companies with global presence through the Economist Intelligence Unit in July and August 2010. The survey covered executives in a wide range of vertical markets including financial services, retail, professional services, technology, and media and so on. About 47% were C-level executives, and the majority of respondents worked in companies with annual revenues of more than 500 million dollars. About 30% came from North America; a quarter came from Europe and the Asia-Pacific, and 11% in Latin America, Africa and Middle East.

The stolen information was aimed specifically at vertical companies focused on information, including financial services, technology, professional services and media and telecommunications, according to the survey. Forty-two percent of financial services firms surveyed by Kroll reported data theft, loss or attack in the last 12 months, compared with only 24% in 2009. The number was 40% for professional services firms, 27% more than last year.

Whether you are looking for your address and telephone number, including cell phones and unlisted numbers, your company, background checks and many others, chances are you will be able to find what you are looking for online.

You can even search by school and university records, social security numbers, court and criminal records, address history and even death rates, if you have the information necessary to conduct a search of the good people. Whether you are looking for information on, traffic offenses, bankruptcy, arrest records, the civil court records such as marriage certificates or other records of the pubis can tap a wealth of information using people search options and tools. You can even choose to use the reverse lookup for the address and phone number of the person who is interested in knowing more about.

The evolution of the purchasing department to one of managing the supply chain involves a strategic shift in the vision of this department. The purchasing department used to be closed looking at specific internal information only: requisitions, warehouse inventory applications and input materials. The change has been that now the department has to have an understanding of the movements and objectives of each of the participants in the supply chain from the original producer of raw materials to reach the final user.

It is impossible for someone in charge of supply can anticipate many of the situations you do not know the behavior, inertia and magnitudes of each of the participants in the supply chain.

The basis for improved decision-making is in the quality of information we receive from the farm to our internal and external customers. Generally, the information starts by generating a projected sales, projected sales this becomes a production scheduling, production scheduling becomes an explosion of materials, the explosion becomes material purchase requisitions, and requisitions Purchase pass to our supplier where surely the cycle repeats.

The problem is that each participant in the chain leads to an error in their projections and estimates:

1) Sales: Poor sales estimates due to many factors such as competitive activity, changes in customers, cyclicality, seasonality, problems in the department, climate change, etc.

2) Production: Low estimate may come from estimated losses of product, changes in formulation, raw material substitution, process changes, changes in raw materials, etc.

3) Winery: The winery can produce bad information because misled inventories, shortages in measuring, wrong product stock, misallocated codes, etc.

Assume that everyone in the chain with an estimated 10% error in their projections. The calculation of the performance of the projections is 90% x 90% x 90% = 72.9%. Now you imagine working with our supplier so poor projections. The final solution is usually to increase inventory levels, which raises costs across the chain.

The two-way information sharing with our “business partners” and the truth of it is extremely critical in managing the supply chain. Because of this, we must seek continuous improvement in our ability to design and create early warning systems that tell us when the baseline conditions of our calculations and projections have changed.

The Family Business Chair at IESE and Informal D & B have signed an agreement to promote together several research projects in the field of family business, as reported by the business school of the University of Navarre.

The business school will collaborate with faculty, specialists and researchers who will oversee research on the other hand Informal D & B will be responsible for collecting data and will be responsible for technical support.

The agreement aims to deepen the role of the family business in the economic and social whole, drawing on the experience of the two organizations.

“For Informal IESE is an honor that has thought of us as a source of information and helpful and we are confident that together we can generate studies of high added value,” the chair of Informal Group and Cusec, Juan Barossa Pages.

The Family Business Chair at IESE was founded in 1987 and was the first in Europe in this field. Their mission is to train and guide the family business so they can better perform their work.

Informal D & B was founded in 1992 and provides business information, financial and marketing to businesses and entrepreneurs. Part of the D & B Worldwide Network, a platform that provides information on more than 160 million companies in the world ‘online’.

The 2nd Forum of Business Technology and Global Crossing will be held in Santiago Chile, from 8:30 to 13:30, at which time the subjects to be addressed will be “business continuity, beyond the predictable.” This annual event takes place in major cities throughout the region.

The Business and Technology Forums are an instance of Global Crossing’s approach to the market, have been conducted since 2008 in Argentina, Peru and Chile and has been replicated successfully in Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela. In Technology and Business Forums are analyzed from a broad perspective, issues related to contingency information and its effect on business results.

The forum’s aim is to disseminate and report on best practices that ensure the normal conduct of business continuity and availability of information, considering the company as a sum of human factors, technical and economic. Be discussed methodologies and management practices recommended by experts and implemented by renowned companies.

The second Global Forum convened Chile Crossing executives and specialists of domestic and foreign companies of various sectors of the country. In it, participants will analyze the extent of impacts to the security of information and methodology to ensure business continuity in adverse scenarios.

Global Crossing has a presence in 700 cities in 70 countries worldwide, has an integrated IP network including key components of communication and information accessibility, security, connectivity, continuity, collaboration, consulting and on-demand services.

Some of the powers of any person or company are the knowledge of certain skills set to display the set of competencies. Noting the knowledge and competence in business, it is important to understand from an economic point of view the usefulness of it, that is, how much better and under what conditions is worth.

It lets you make and how much under the conditions that allow to enforce. It may seem ill formulated, but keeps the essence of what this article is intended to convey.

Any event and the events that are stored information that is; one can trace any relationship of an event or incident. That is why, on this idea, which has developed a wide array of techniques and tools for the management of various business and industrial processes relaciodos with data handling and management of information and knowledge.

In addition, as for many scholars, that any business model consists of a historical sequence, any market condition implies a historical sequence of events and / or interrelated events.

The business plans are often mentioned as regards the study of supply and demand, from the standpoint of strategic planning that will assess potential approaches and / or strategies with a time horizon of application will probably different.

To study the current and potential customers could provide information about which are more profitable and which are not. However, this depends on your point of view. From the standpoint of market research and traditional tools such as analysis of supply and demand would be a bit exhaustive study. Poe even with the same amount of information and new approaches would be unable to obtain further information was obtained. For example:

RFM Analysis of an entirely different approach where the client is seen as an asset to the company. The econometric analysis and recognition of consumption patterns and trends could also be helpful. Both large and medium-sized enterprises, small and micro enterprises could make use of techniques and tools.

How much? Vale do what you allow, that is, you could have much or little information, but combined with clear objectives may have an important impact on certain initiatives and the formulation of strategic and operational plans. Another important point is the heterogeneity of sources, and it is important to discover information crosses low mesh combinations and variations resulting new information.

The conditions to give vouchers to information also related to their treatment and opportunity. This means that you could have biased or incomplete information but with a corrective treatment could rescue important values, it is also possible to study possible scenarios. On the other hand, it must be timely, it must serve the objectives.

Finally, it is important to approach it, there are similar treatments of data, but bring in as the situation requires it, for it is important to test under controlled conditions the effects of decisions that have as input the resulting information of a given process.

Information obtained in the field is forced to prepare data for analysis. In this post, quickly develop some guidelines for the preparation of information such as encryption, file creation, consistency and weight.

Once collected the data, provide codes relevant to the categories or alternative response of questions of the measuring instrument. Coded categories, we proceed to develop the codebook. Return in another post with the design guidelines of the codebook.

The coding can be made before or after lifting the information in the field. The coding can be made at time of questionnaire design, if the categories were pre-coded and the meter has no open questions.

On the contrary, postcodificación is to establish a code to each of the possible answers ready to be mentioned at time of interview in the open questions of the questionnaire. Therefore, the obtained postcodificación done all of the information.

The results of the measuring instrument are transferred to a matrix or database, using as support the codebook. Without the codebook, cannot be encoded and an array of database meaningless. The creation of the data file involves two steps: the recording and definition of the file.

In turn, the recording of the file can be committed in two ways: manual, i.e. using the computer keyboard, or mechanically with the use of optical scanners. The optical scanners read the codes and transcribed simultaneously.

The definition of the data file has protocols related to each statistical package. These protocols will be developed in detail in subsequent deliveries.

Information obtained in the field and finished recording and definition of data file, it must establish guidelines or procedures for quality control of data prior to analysis. Here soon some notes about the consistency of quantitative data.

Definitely, the consistency of data is a crucial time, complex and laborious process of preparing information for analysis.

The purpose of data consistency to ensure the quality of information. The consistency of data is performed in two stages or phases: at first, completed the recording and definition of the data file. In a second time by the systematic review of each of the variables and their relationship with others.

Designed the data file, i.e. the design of the study variables and their format, consistency begins with the application of filter controls and quotas.

It must pass through a filter selection control of the universe under study in order to verify that all the respondents belong to the objective universe.

In addition, the data must pass through a quota control, in order to verify that the composition of the sample matches the sample design.

In a second step, it checks to determine variables by procedure descriptive statistics, frequency distributions of all variables and relationships between them.

These procedures and protocols are critical in the process prior to analysis. It is necessary to carry out this stage of the consistency of a rigorous and systematic. Completed all these steps, the information shall be submitted for analysis.

Finally, the sample obtained in the field should be proportional to the distribution of the universe or population. Therefore, before starting the analysis of the data, we must verify that each individual or respondent in the sample has a weight proportional to the population distribution. The technique of assigning a weight to each individual or interviewee is called sampling weights.

In subsequent deliveries will develop in more detail these patterns of preparing information for analysis. This post is intended to serve as an introduction to the workshop by Spas Data Analysis. In the first session of the workshop, by way of introduction, we will discuss this and other memos, essential for the success or failure of any investigation. Until then.

Each office ACEDE central server, which consolidates the information. Upon receipt of the delivery note is scanned and extracts the most important information. The set is recorded and stored in the database.

Invoices received by the office supplies company are in print while the bills are received computer equipment telemetric as electronic invoices. To unify the process transform paper invoices into electronic format and by electronic means are kept in electronic form, so it is still possible to query and printing at any time. Telemetric Invoices are processed automatically, extracting information and data transmission by transferring the whole database.

So, once registered telemetrically, the process contrasts automatically defined the content of the invoice with remittance information and if there are no discrepancies, the bill states that telemetric is correct in the database and sends a notice to appropriate department so that it can process the payment.

Now suppose the company wants to know at any given time or a time of office equipment expenditures. Now, so quick and easy, please visit the online registration of your bills to know the cost of the company.

After several months, the company decides to make a profit and loss balance; this requires a flexible access to all company documents, including invoices.

These documents, digitized and Online Register at an early stage, streamline the work of the finance department, may well make the balance proposed by the senior management of the company.

So far, we have seen the process of receiving and paying bills, but in the same way, egg in case of a manufacturing company, we could integrate the billing process with other company departments, such as stock control, if both recorded the movements of a telemetric in a database.

The new technologies provide significant benefits to the company, streamline work processes, increase savings and ensure the safe storage, copying and retrieval of business documents and generate greater access to data when carrying an audit or track them.

When choosing a management solution for telemetric bill is important to note the ease of integration it has with our processes and existing applications.

When organizations are not attentive to the signs of the times, the surprises are obvious risks materialize and forecasts agree. In this regard, companies should “sense” and respond to their environment, to capitalize on that mark concerning road signs in relation to information, as the new currency that circulates in a restricted or free, as applicable by their owners or owners.
So, this paper presents a basic overview on the flight and / or loss of information, which seeks the return of the importance of classifying information, not as an activity of underwriting information, but as a core competency that gives relevance to information as real and tangible assets of individuals and firms in the XXI century.

We are the people, the first and most important custodians of information and as such, we should note a number of good practices that allow us to keep it insured as required.

For this to be real, the classification of information is an activity while competition that each one of us must develop. Classified information defines the level of importance and protection that a person must give the same, which in itself, outlines what must not move and what should a restricted flow.
