America At Work

Information Sharing Made Easy
Don’t miss the season finale of America at Work, "Information Sharing Made Easy," broadcasting via satellite on Thursday, August 15, 1996:

Information at your fingertips is one thing. The ability to really put that information to work inside your business - to share valuable ideas and communications that help you work more productively - is another story entirely. This month’s America at Work broadcast dives into "Information Sharing Made Easy." Follow along as four small businesses demonstrate how having the right data available helps them guide decision making, reach new customers, and much more!

Clark Nuber, CPA, Seattle, WA
Clients of Clark Nuber’s 70-person CPA firm probably aren’t aware of the procedures that ensure that they get fast, reliable, and accurate tax and accounting services. But the firm’s accountants know that the ability to connect to the company network and access important the firm’s CD-based tax information library, as well as send communications and information to multiple locations, is helping them do their jobs better. Find out how as we profile these "connected CPAs."

First Waco National Bank, Waco, TX
The information management that goes along with running a financial institution had the 50 employees at First Waco National Bank bogged down in data. By installing a faster client-server network, the company was able to significantly decrease loan processing time, track account information across multiple branches, and save money - all of which have contributed to a Texas-sized increase in customer satisfaction.

Smith Miller + Hawkinson, New York, NY
In the old days, an architecture firm could courier a blueprint to an eager client in a cab. When that client is three time zones away, taxis just don’t cut it. With two offices, one in New York and one in Los Angeles, 28-employee Smith Miller + Hawkinson relies on a computer network and the Internet to exchange documents, data, blueprints, and e-mail between offices. The result for this trend-setting firm is improved communication, faster access to important information, and an enhanced ability to concentrate on the designs that put them at the forefront of their business.

Dr. Cavallino, Dentist, New Orleans, LA
Like dentistry, information sharing doesn’t have to be a painful experience. Meet this New Orleans dentist who is using a network and computer terminals to access, share, and view patient treatment records and x-rays. His goal: a paperless practice that improves the patient experience and makes processing and tracking information more accurate and efficient.
