Reduce costs - reduce your bank interest. 1.
This is the core of a formal review which you can do as a proper management task. The full checklist comprises FIFTY WAYS TO SAVE COSTS, so keep this for later and then work out how best to approach the matter in your organisation. This is a serious list for a serious situation.
1.1 Reduce your bank interest. 1.
1.1.1. Get a report of your top three debtors every morning, a continuous reminder
1.1.2. Get a report of your oldest three debts every morning, a continuous reminder
1.1.3. Are you getting your bankings paid in immediately,
1.1.4. How can you get your invoices prepared and sent out earlier
1.1.5. Better yet can you send them a receipt as this will mean you’ve already received payment, in advance of a formal note of the amount due.

The 1960's Utopia is starting, the 'Paperless Office'
The 1960’s Utopia is starting, the Paperless Office is here.
Back in the 1960’s we were all confident that the ‘Paperless Office’ was here or only just round the corner.
Finally, according to a report in "The Economist," dated 11th October 2008, we are getting there and the evidence is based on US paper usage reducing from a peak of nearly 150lbs per white-collar worker in 2000 to just about 125lbs forecast for 2008.
“The explanation seems to be sociological rather than technological, in that a new generation of workers, who have grown up with email, word-processing and the internet, feel less need to print documents than their older colleagues did.”
That’s the stage today, and the next act is dependent on it, as you can’t participate in Web 3.0 unless you are paperless.
Web 3.0 uses technology which is around today, so that with a laptop, a 3G dongle to give you broadband access virtually anywhere in the UK, a VoIP telephone system and an internet-based corporate management system to keep your data in and shared with your colleagues, you can operate as if you are in your office anywhere, anytime.
That’s exactly what Yoolaa was set up to provide – Your Office On Line Anywhere Anytime.
