    •   Being in business
    •   What is Sharepoint?
    •   Improving productivity
    •   More revenue
    •   Business value
    •   Opportunities
3




    • Or are you working with a hobby?

    • A business is for PROFIT.
4




    • Profit = Income – Expenses

    • If something doesn‟t increase income or
      reduce expenses why does a business need
      it?
5




    If not then you should!
6




    - Simply a tool.

    “Man is a tool using animal...without tools he
      is nothing, with tools he is all” - Thomas Carlyle
    - Customers want „tools‟ to solve their
      business problems, they don‟t want
      technology.
7




    • A tool to lower expenses.
    • A tool to increase revenue.
    • Like Excel or Word. When you start
      Sharepoint it is empty.
    • Value comes from the information entered
      into Sharepoint.
8




    • Increasing income or decreasing expenses?

    • You have direct control over your expenses
      unlike income which come from other parties
      outside your business.

    • Lowering expense has an immediate impact
      on your business.

       time doing every day?

     • Where do businesses waste time, effort and
       money?

11




     15% of a typical information workers day is spent searching through content,
     like Web, digital communication and paper work – NYTimes 14 Jun

     Butler Group reports up to 10% of staff costs are lost, because employees
     can't find the right information to do their jobs.

     Middle managers spend more than a quarter of their time searching for
     information necessary to their jobs, and when they do find it, it is often
     wrong, according to results of an Accenture (NYSE: ACN) survey - 2007

     “the typical information worker now spends up to one-quarter of his or her
     day searching for the right information to complete a given task” – Network
     World

       it!” – E-Myth Revisited, Michael Gerber ,P152
     • Value is in eye of the buyer not the seller.

     • How much would someone buy it for?
40




     “The value of your equity is directly
       proportional to how well your business
       works. And how well your business works is

       which the operation of your business
       depends” - E-Myth Contractor, Michael Gerber, P23
