Solution Explorers Blog

I recently did some collaborative work with Robert Guild, certified QuickBooks Advisor with Austin, TX-based QBCoach. In his preparation to speak with financial leaders and advisors he asked to interview me about the overall concept of Solution Explorers. The result was an effective, fun 9.5 minute interview video in which we covered the following:

• About Solution Explorers.
• Why was Solution Explorers created?
• Example of a problem – Case Study.
• Buyers – what questions to ask?
• Describe your ideal client.

YouTube interview video: About Solution Explorers

It’s interesting…helping others identify the right software solution for their organization seems like such a simple concept. However, I’m often asked “what exactly do you do?” Amazingly, aside from very high $ consultants representing large CPA and/or IT Consulting firms this service model doesn’t appear to be a broadly available service.

Hopefully, the option of outsourcing this time-consuming, skilled project activity will grow so that small and medium sized businesses will be able to focus more on their strengths while increasing the probability of investing revenue or funds in a business solution that effectively meets their current and long-term business software needs. After all, Solution Explorers aims to “transform the software buying and selling experience.” With increased resources and willingness to outsource specialty tasks I am convinced that both buyers and sellers of software technology systems will begin to experience more rewarding ways to interact.

Your thoughts, and even questions, regarding this business concept are certainly welcome.
