Star provides The Good Oil for infrastructure providers

Star Business Solutions has pitched in to push the benefits in better productivity that can be achieved through IT, and how the right investment can pay dividends despite the recession...

Part of its pitch is a new online publication, The Good Oil, which the reseller of Greentree business and accounting software has just launched. Aimed at infrastructure providers – those who build the roads, supply our water and electricity, and keep our schools and community going – it recognises how important these are.

The Federal Government thinks so too, as its $42 billion Nation Building and Jobs Plan attests to, says Star.

“It makes sense in a time of economic downturn to invest in infrastructure. The negative effects of the downturn are mitigated and… [result in] the long-term benefit of a modernised, better infrastructure,” it adds.

The Greentree partner recognises that it’s tough to justify investing in IT in difficult times, but says such can deliver major productivity benefits.

“For example, by automating the order process, businesses can streamline activities to reduce the number of human resources needed to carry out routine tasks, giving management more time to spend growing the business rather than just running it.”

The Good Oil details stories of companies successfully investing in IT solutions to improve business productivity despite the recession.

The first issue also provides a morale boost by highlighting the fact that Australia's Federal Government has made a $29 billion commitment to new and renewed facilities, including local roads and community infrastructure.

At the same time, the New Zealand Government has announced a $142.5 million investment in the transport sector for five major state highway projects.
