As a small business starting out what business software would you regard as being an must have?

Such as Management Information System, CRM, Order Management System???

I am going to develop small business software using the latest technology but need to some help in what direction will generate the most interest and revenue from small companies.

Thanks
Noon dont worry about the time or technology, I am using WPF and Silverlight which is just in its early stages and will be the future of windows development, also it will only take me 6 months .

It will take you two years if you want to compete with the software that’s already available, such as Quicken and so many others. By that time technology will have advanced, and your software will be out of date.

not that I am complaining, but we owe the irs, we have been on a paymnt plan with them where they take money out of our account every single month. says that the check will be mailed on May 30th. Are we really going to get one owing back taxes? or is this just a standard letter that goes out to everyone before they actually mail them?

The Letter you received from the IRS was to inform you how much Stimulus payment you qualified for. The IRS is required by law to apply Stimulus payment first to any outstanding tax liability, then to any other defaulted federal debt, like student loans, and any back child support. If only the fact that you have an outstanding tax liability then the IRS will apply the Stimulus payment there. If any money is left after the tax liability is paid in full the IRS will mail you a check for the balance. You can visit www.irs.gov or call the IRS at (800) 829-1040 to confirm my answer.

Well! Federal, States, and Cities are the three governmental level that collect tax revenues.
The best way is through US census bureau and the IRS’s SOI

Let’s say that an exchange rate has a negative revenue impact of -4 to -6%. What do you do? Would you decrease your advertising in that country, increase prices, limit the number of products shipped there? What would be the best strategy?

Since oil is pegged to the US $, Oil cartels increase prices, right?
If they do not increase oil prices, their dollars received for a barrel of oil is worth less in foreign markets. Buying power decreases for them.

This may become a common occurrence with the US $.
China is feeling it. Their prior investments are worth less that they paid in principle. Treasury bonds are now issued for 3-4 years. Unheard of in past years, but it’s a result of the $ deteriorating in value over long term.

You still should be competitive with all other imports, as they all are experiencing the same phenomena.

The last consideration should be demand for your product and competitiveness. If those are diminished, you may need to restyle or revamp your marketing strategy or product lines.

It’s not unheard of to cut the quality of a product, although that can be negative.

Isn’t it obvious, even at the most basic level of economics concepts, if you reduce or limit "Supply" you increase costs for those mega-projects meant to improve the economy will be very inefficient, waste of money

Executive Summary We design and deliver the systems, software and services that drive next-generation communications networks. Backed by Bell Labs research and development, we use our strengths in mobility, optical, access, data and voice networking technologies, as well as services, to create new revenue-generating opportunities for our customers, while enabling them to quickly deploy and better manage their networks. Our customer base includes communications service providers, governments and enterprises worldwide. We have three segments organized around the products and services we sell. The reportable segments are Integrated Network Solutions (“INS”), Mobility Solutions (“Mobility”) and Lucent Worldwide Services (“Services”). INS provides a broad range of software and wireline equipment related to voice networking (primarily consisting of switching products, which we sometimes refer to as convergence solutions, and voice messaging products), data and network management (primarily consisting of access and related data networking equipment and operating support software) and optical networking. Mobility provides software and wireless equipment to support radio access and core networks. Services provides deployment, maintenance, professional and managed services in support of both our product offerings as well as multi-vendor networks. Beginning in fiscal 2001, the global telecommunications market deteriorated, resulting from a decrease in the competitive local exchange carrier market and a significant reduction in capital spending by established service providers.This trend intensified during fiscal 2002 and continued into fiscal 2003. Reasons for the market deterioration included general economic slowdown, network overcapacity, customer bankruptcies, network build-out delays and limited availability of capital. We believe that the market for telecommunications equipment has stabilized and is starting to grow in certain areas. The growing demands of enterprises and consumers for additional services tailored to their needs is creating the need for a new convergence of networks, technologies and applications. Required 1.

I’ve sent the file to the address you gave me.

due to the hard time, I started to sell all my stuffs in ebay.ca, then I hunted for good deal and this became my main business.
I want to know if I need to report this to Canada Revenue, since I don’t do the proper bookkeeping.

Yes, you have to claim it. As a matter of fact ebay.ca has been asked by Revenue Canada, and they have agreed, to report Canadian Top Sellers, so they can collect taxes from them.

Hello guys! I need to send some stuff to a guy who is working in the Revenue and Inventory office over the Department of Parking and Transportation, University of California Berkeley.

I searched the net for the postal address and I got this:
UC Berkeley
2150 Kittredge Street
First Floor
Berkeley, CA 94720-5740
USA

Will my mail from asia reach this office with the above postal address? Please confirm. Thanks.

Yes, I searched and found that same address too.

The University of California, Berkley, Parking and Transportation website has an email address.

May I suggest you write this very same letter in an email and ask the office to confirm it also.
