We’re not going to argue against that. Even in our own business, we know we need to pay a lot of money for hardware, software licenses, subscriptions, and internal labor, employee training, certifications, and a whole lot more just to keep things running smoothly for ourselves and our clients. It also might seem a little funny that an IT services provider is talking about how IT services can help your business be more profitable. At first glance, that might feel sort of like a bakery telling you that donuts are the key to losing weight. But I have your attention so far, and it’s likely because you understand that modern technology is inherently designed to make you and your staff more effective and productive. It’s not designed to simply be an expense, and if you implement it properly and measure it, much of the time technology can be shown to help organizations do more in less time. This article explores 13 ways these services can help small businesses save or make more money.

Fortunately (and a little unsurprisingly), this is because these programs have a specific function to accomplish this. Let’s review the process you should follow in your spreadsheet program, whether you use Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets.
