Protean Logic Inc's
"power to the people..."
Online Business Solutions!
Protean Logic's ProteanPAPER© technology is the accounting
and information technology for someone starting a new business.
You are going to need some Information Technology (IT) to develop a budget,
generate some plan data, and track your staff's time and expenses.
You may also want to have a
web site for publicizing your venture or seeking investment. Contact
management might be important to this venture, and you might begin
working on the bills of materials for anything your company will
produce.
The fact that you are starting
from scratch doesn't really diminish your need for professional
grade data solutions. ProteanPAPER© is ideal for this situation
because it is powerful, expandable and affordable from the onset of
your business. During your startup phase, use the online version of
ProteanPAPER©. Establish your accounting basics and budget,
start your business and get your purchasing process going. Then when
your business is in full swing, you may wish to upgrade to the
in-house version of ProteanPAPER©.
The in-house version is
essentially the same as the on-line version except that it resides
on a server built specifically for your needs and physically located
at your facility. The server is built in such a way that it is a,
"data appliance". It does not even need a monitor or
keyboard as it is administered from other designated computers.
It has all the data redundancy
and data backup facilities built in so that you or your fledgling IT
staff can keep your business systems running with minimum effort.
By using the same software
for both startup and ramp-up greatly eases the transition
from a startup to a fully implemented company. Many companies run
into a crisis when they out-grow their startup systems.
Sreadsheets and wordprocessor templates were fine in the
beginning, but the lack of automation and things get busy create
errors and inefficiency. Security and accounting is unsufficient
and all these problems occur at a time when everyone is too busy
to fix the situation properly. Limited single user programs like Intuit's
Quickbooks and other small accounting solutions are not much
better. This sets up a crisis of
information management at times of rapid growth when time and cash
are strained.
The ProteanPAPER© engine is capable of handling a large
business with many employees, hundreds of thousands of customers
and transactions and millions of entries per table. So you don't
need to worry about outgrowing the systems you start with.
You can have all these
resources available to your startup business today, for about the price of
coffee. Just sign up for our on-line modules and use the servers
and software at our site initially. The fees for usage are scaled, so
you pay only for that which you need. ProteanPAPER© is
unbelievably affordable. As you start using
more ProteanPAPER@ capability, additional charges for functional
modules and small charges for the additional bandwidth used are
incurred. But this additional cost means that your business is
working and that your systems are working, so costs follow naturally
with the growth of your business.
At some point in your
business' growth, It is more cost effective and reliable to operate
a ProteanPAPER© server on site. We
will build you a server, install the software, install your data (if
you have some on our servers), and send you the server as a data
appliance ready to plug into your network at your site. The price
for the data appliance is very reasonable (usually around $3,000 at
the time of this writing)
which means inhouse IT
services has never been easier or more cost effective.
So, whether you use a remote shared server at a ProteanPAPER©
providers site, or you maintain a server which has the
ProteanPAPER© software licensed to it, you can have these
professional applications with the same
features and data structures immediately.
