FAQs
Q.
Do I need to
purchase any special software to have an intelligent network?
|
An
intelligent network
is
just about business information organization and there is nothing to
stop you doing that with the software you are using in your business now. |
Q.
Do I need to
make any changes to the document management system I am using now?
|
Presuming
that you are using a standard document management system now, you
will be able to keep using it as it is. Business information
organization is about where you physically put the files and if you
think about it, a system that creates links to the files like a DMS
can do that regardless of where they are held. But it is important to
remember that an intelligent network is not trying to do what you DMS
is doing but it is about creating a physical context for
your information that creates a picture of what your business and
what it does that is real and not virtual.
Smaller
businesses that don't have a DMS may decide that they won't need one because
on the intelligent network, the place becomes the context. |
Q.
Will I need
any special software to use the downloads and ebooks?
|
If
you are downloading a PDF you will need to have a PDF reader. A link
is provided. Some of our free eBooks need to use Internet Explorer.
If the ebook does not find Internet Explorer on your computer it will
not open properly. While you may be asked to obtain a copy of the DNL
reader for the published eBooks the majority of our downloads or
ebooks will not install anything to your computer. They will not
contain viruses but it is wise to check anything with your own virus
checker anyway. |
Q.
How do I
unzip any .zip files I download?
|
Most
computers now come with WinZip or a comparable program. |
Q.
How do I get
Adobe reader?
|
Adobe
readers
are available on the Adobe.com website. |
Q.
As a business
management or management consultant or as the representative of a
company working in the field am I allowed to promote this strategy to
my clients and use the materials supplied?
|
In
the book, Business
information organization: 21st century best practice,
a section for consultants is included and that contains information
about how to use the strategy. There are no royalties for using our
strategies and techniques and we ask only that you respect our
copyright on our materials and acknowledge the source. If your
business needs more information, please contact us on the email
address above. Where practical we can consult directly to fast-track
your ventures into this area of training. |
Q.
What software
do you use for your published eBooks?
|
All
three eBooks are supplied to be used with a reader. The ebooks are
supplied with Digital Rights Management and can only be used with the

Ten
Steps Business Publications, Melbourne,
Victoria, Australia
After a long career working in information management and
particularly with business information and working with businesses as Renovate
a Business,
taking the next step had to be sharing observations and strategies.
But when you become aware of what business is losing every single
minute that chaos continues unnoticed, all you can think about is
getting the word out there so that things can change. It is a passion
to change the way that business works that has created the connection
between the consultant, the publisher and the book.
The consultant became the author of Sleepers:
the world's best-kept business secret published in Melboune,
Australia in 2007.
B Kirby White BEd TSTC ALIA is a former national president of the Australian
Library and Information Association,
the professional and peake body for librarians and information
personnel in Australia. Working as a library manager in
post-secondary education and lecturing in library science at MCAE
(University of Melbourne) opened up an interest in information
management and information technology and concerns that those who
know how to manage information were being left out of the design of
new systems and processes. From 1989, the author has had a new career
in business information management and as a consultant to government,
business, industry and public and private sector organizations.
Being passionate about getting rid of chaos is hard task master and
the book was written to inspire others to look closely at what is
really happening and what it costs every business. The message in the
book is that the worst aspect of this high tech world is that someone
threw the baby out with the bath water. Everyone forgot about policy
and control. Everyone ignored the fact that if you can't see it you
can't manage it. Every business owner and manager who have taken
their hands off the wheel have been hoodwinked into thinking that it
is all being handled and 99.999% of the time it isn't". |
