1. Use technology to your advantage and do your research. I have been looking at enterprise solutions from the big names for all kinds of purposes like inventory control, expense tracking, remote support and so on that can cost tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars, Hamby says. With some targeted research and combining of technologies I have founds apps that cost less than $5.00 that have the same functionality as extremely expensive enterprise solutions. Dont always let enterprise solutions drive a decision as this is the easy route and many times not as good as some of the cheaper or no-cost solutions.
