Level I
I have an office set up for 5 individuals for my company.

I want to improve the efficiency, reporting and streamline the working model and processes.

I wanted to know what solutions are available in the market to help my business grow in a more organized manner.

I do know of SAP, Microsoft small business server 2011 but not gone deep into finding each one out.

I am ready to invest in 1 solution which can help me now and the near future of upto 10 people.

I have no idea of costing or investment needed in terms of software, hardware and the networking involved so looking for inputs.
 
Its a marketing solutions company dealing with healthcare industry.

There are marketing and sales - 2 people. 2 Directors and 1 Senior Advisor.

Marketing & Sales people are in the field touring all over India reporting back in excel for now.
Directors & Advisor are doing business developments, presentations and also critical meetings etc.

Lot of interactions and talk of the directors and advisor with the sales team daily on skype , phone, email
Lot of interactions between directors and 3rd party companies for projects and product development.

Gaurish :P
 
sure. will research on Google apps. based on what i saw, tons of apps with good reviews. recommendations and pricing for google business accounts ?
 
if you are talking about email-ids from Google Apps, each id of 25GB mails space will cost around <2500/- per annum.

Many free features.

Extra free and paid apps also available.

You can take a trial and check it.
 
Since, its a small team(<10people), it doesn't make sense to invest in dedicated hardware/software based solution because it would require some I.T expertise. Instead I could recommend to leverage the cloud. So, I too would suggest cloud based SAAS(Software as a service) solutions. I think all these have free trial available, so just try it out & see if it suit your needs or not.

1) Productivity Suite: Office 365 Vs Google Apps Vs Zoho or BaseCamp

2) File Sync/Sharing: Try Dropbox -- there are ton of other options but dropbox is what I personally use.

Lastly, If you have some specific requirements. Please post, I would try to answer them:)

we are talking in English :P
 
i am leaning towards cloud based apps.

Seems like Google small business + paid apps according to requirement will be a good combination for a start.

30 day trial period is good enough so looks like Google apps it is for now :)
