Elegant Simplicity
The Dataworks Manifesto & Why It’s Important to YOU.
“Everything should be as simple as it needs to be – but not simpler”
- Albert Einstein
Business owners and executives have become increasingly frustrated with the complex hassles of technology. In fact, traditional technology professionals are adept at finding extravagant solutions to simple problems, boring deeper into your pockets. That outdated, selfish philosophy does not help you or your people win, especially during challenging times.
Websters Disctionary defines elegance as “of high quality”, and simplicity as “uncomplicated”. I have come to know through experience that the simplest solutions are often the most overlooked. Albert Einstein once said that ”any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex and more violent. It takes a touch of genius and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.”
Furthermore the Dataworks model of Elegant Simplicity is perhaps best defined by Satish Kumar in Resurgence when he stated: “Simplicity requires less ego and more imagination, less complication and more creativity, and less glamour with more gratitude.”
My Company, Dataworks, is based n this concept of Elegant Simplicity.
Creating an elegantly simple business does not start or end with technology. It begins with a process and how you approach the world. The new economy will not support or allow the lumbering complexity that brought us this far. Businesses must be lean, agile, and efficient in order to compete in the new age.
That is what we offer out clients: a reliable, forward thinking and efficient method of doing business using technology that supports your business goals. Technology is a tool – which when properly utilized – will magnify the existing efficiency within an organization. When applied to an inefficient organization, it highlights and magnifies the inefficiencies and dysfunction serving as a barrier to success.
My overarching focus is supporting your people and their associated business processes – not the devices. Only when your business becomes “as simple as it needs to be – but not simpler” do we focus on technology and devices.
Working with Dataworks is unlike any experience you have ever had with a technology partner. It’s your choice: elaborate, costly and never-ending technology “solutions”, or Elegant Simplicity.
I trust you will choose the profitable path. Welcome to the Technology Revolution.
