Again and again I think, as certain procedures in the daily life of a design studio automated - no, I say better, are easier ? There are, for example the "rules" in the mail program to sort the mail in my arrival. Since accelerate the famous speed-dialing keys on my phone to connect. And so on ... All these automatic
have in common is that always work the first time must be invested in order to reap the benefit from the reduction of a flow. And often I underestimate this part, and so the Projects often results in a shot to the back: The cost of the configuration is not in proportion to the benefits in daily life.
Sorry, we do not always know whether the investment is worth the long term. Example: agency software. Addresses can be entered once. Even at first contact with the acquisition and can click in all further actions (offer, billing ...) are inserted. Cost estimates are created once and like building blocks - with one click - added to the offer. Fits to the calculations of the project process: it can be added to the calendar and I've every morning after breakfast, an overview of what to do today. As you can see what is here as a useful simplification of office life appears the same time means a huge effort in the basic configuration.
And another thing: What is the right agency software? The quest for it has already cost me hours of Google! This fact is as difficult as deciding on an image-editing program. There are standards and always test in the relevant journals.
But perhaps I am mistaken, too. Maybe - hopefully - someone reads this and thinks, "Why, is not a problem, there's but the program deal primarily with the xy I come.." - Please share it with me! Other seekers of simplifications in their office life will thank you.
