| | 5 Tips on Technology Planning Hi
1. Create a master plan for technology, just as you would draw up a business plan, a budget or a marketing plan.
2. Design the plan so that it supports your business strategy and goals. Use it to guide technology buying decisions.
3. Think of technology purchases as investments, not costs. And, remember, when you have an overall plan, your company avoids wasting money on unnecessary purchases or quick fixes.
4. Start by determining your company’s needs. Look at what problems need to be solved and how technology can help.
5. Get expert help to guide you. Check your Yellow Pages under “Computers-System Designers & Consultants,” or ask your local chamber of commerce. As always, get references.

| | 1. Clearly define your business idea and be able to succinctly articulate it. Know your mission.
2. Examine your motives. Make sure that you have a passion for owning a business and for this particular business.
3. Be willing to commit to the hours, discipline, continuous learning and the frustrations of owning your own business.
4. Conduct a competitive analysis in your market, including products, prices, promotions, advertising, distribution, quality, service, and be aware of the outside influences that affect your business.
5. Seek help from other small businesses, vendors, professionals, government agencies, employees, trade associations and trade shows. Be alert, ask questions, and visit your local SCORE office.
Have a nice day |

| | Technology planning is the single most important ingredient to effectively use technology in your organization. The technology planning process will help minimize technology-related crises, use staff time efficiently, and avoid wasting money on equipment. Create a plan to help you think through your priorities in order to use technology in a way that directly furthers your mission. Here are some steps that need to be followed:
1 Find the real IT decision-makers in your community and schedule meetings with them.
2 Do a technology inventory to figure out what hardware, software and networking equipment you already own.
3 Look at your company’s strategic plan or long-range plan and think about how it will affect your technology plan.
4 Pull together a technology team and schedule your first meeting to discuss the information you’ve collected in steps 1 through 3.
5 Write the technology plan.
6 Revisit and evaluate your technology. Plan on a regular basis every 6 to 12 months. |

| | 1. KEEP FIRST THINGS FIRST
Just because it's a cliché doesn't mean it's not true. The best touchstone in times of uncertainty is your school or district's core mission — whether it's the one framed inside the lobby or the one everyone who works there just knows. Before you add one more computer or one more software license to your stockpile, ask yourself how it fits into the larger picture and meets your goals."How will this help raise test scores in math? How will this improve students' reading levels?" If there's no good answer to the question at hand, skip the initiative or move it down the priority list.
2. SELL ON STRATEGY, SPEND ON TACTICS
That's a catchphrase among marketing types to help distinguish between high-level aims and the quantifiable nuts and bolts of how you achieve them. Your multiyear, publicly-aired technology plan should articulate the high-level aims (such as, "By 2005, ensure effective Internet access on demand for every student and teacher"); but behind the scenes, make sure you have a detailed yearly or even quarterly implementation plan that spells out the steps needed to achieve those aims. Goals can be calendarized or they can come with a specific price tag. Make sure that your school board stays focused on the overall aims while you and your staff take care of the details. |
