![]() | ![]() | Sam Fogg Rare Books deals in medieval manuscripts, miniatures and sculpture and is well known in the art and antiques world. The company was established 10 years ago and currently has a total of four full time staff. Sam Fogg Rare Books has 2 PCs running Microsoft Windows 95 operating system and Microsoft Office. The technology has allowed the staff to develop quicker and more efficient systems, including a database that logs stock levels and customers. The database system dramatically cut the time taken to compile the product catalogues as product descriptions from the database can be transferred directly to the word-processor. "This technology has completely re-organised the administrative side of our business," said Marc du Ry, IT co-ordinator at Sam Fogg Rare Books. "Before it was implemented we would spend our time drowning in paper containing client and product information. It is now, however, safely and methodically stored on the computers. It can be easily turned into mailing lists or updated." Marc is about to set up internet access, expanding the business horizons for Sam Fogg Rare Books. "The Internet explosion happens to coincide with our own widening horizons, taking on Oriental manuscripts and miniatures. There seems to be no reason not to give the Internet a go when it is all made so easy." Sam Fogg Rare Books has been using Windows 95 for five months and Marc is sure that it will save the company money by introducing more efficient procedures and extending business boundaries. | |||
