Free IT Consulting for Small Businesses Fighting Coronavirus COVID-19
Innovation Vista is offering small businesses free consulting about remote work options or other IT issues to help them keep their business moving as we all combat coronavirus COVID19 together. For many small businesses, the government's request to initiate social distancing has created a tension point between taking steps to protect their employees' (really the entire public's) health vs. changing the entire operating model of their company. Some businesses may need advice on setting up free/cheap tools for video conferencing, screen-sharing and other collaboration. For others, this mode of operation opens up enormous information security concerns and may raise the risk of data breaches and other liabilities. We're offering a free consultation to any small business who feels stuck in this quandary or is unable to operate/support their IT systems in a remote working mode. Please contact us if you're interested in a strategic conversation about your options. We CAN [...]

Not Every Company Needs Our Services – Only Those Which Have Data
A recent McKinsey study found that companies which invested in data quality and analytics increased their profit margin an average of 6%. For context, the average profit margin across Fortune 500 companies was just 10.7%...! Who isn't interested in pursuing an increase in their profits of 2/3? And unlike traditional IT automation, Digital Transformation can not only reduce costs but also potentially increase revenue. Unless your company does not track or utilize data at all, you are missing an opportunity at these kinds of returns if you're not "weaponizing" your data. GAAP Accounting does not currently allow companies to book their data as an asset on the balance sheet, per se, but it’s safe to say that between two companies with similar financials, the one with the highest quantity & quality of data is truly “worth more” (and will have tangibly better results!) than one with limited, low quality data.

Forbes Highlights Demand for Digital Consultancies
A Forbes article yesterday about Digital Consultancies highlights a major change underway not only among Big 4 and Big 3 consulting firms, but across the economy. Increasingly, firms are building out their "Digitalization" consulting practices to respond to the increase in demand in these services among their clients. Some are hiring experts to handle the current and projected future project increase; other firms are acquiring smaller firms at a frenetic pace. It is this same trend in demand that created the reason for the formation of Innovation Vista in the fall of 2015... What is so different about this trend in consulting and in technology at large? New technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Smart Process Automation, Augmented/Virtual Reality are reaching maturity to be ready for mainstream adoption worldwide. Most companies will find one or more use cases for these capabilities. Because these tools are new, there are not enough experts [...]
