Koala currently has a network of 12 PCs based around Microsoft Windows for Workgroups offering a very comprehensive networking system for the company. Vivienne Willoughby-Ellis, managing director of Koala says: "The technology has definitely speeded up the business by making processes much more efficient. For instance, any data held on the system can be retrieved from any of the PCs and templates can now be easily accessed by any of our employees." She continues: "We have found all the Microsoft products compliment each other very well, we use Microsoft FoxPro to build vital customer and supplier databases. The more advanced products such as Visual C++ and Visual Basic are used everyday for design and development of our customers publications." Koala Publishing has just begun to use email as a tool for customer communication. It has also set up it's own 'site' on the internet where it can reach a world-wide audience with information on its products and services. "As far as the future is concerned, we want to utilise the Internet to develop our international business. We are also planning on extending our business into the design of Internet sites for other companies and customers." Koala can be found on the World Wide Web at http://www.koalapub.co.uk | ||||
