There is a lot of money being spent by business owners for their small business marketing for not any good, logical reason. Of course it is crucial to have marketing be part of your business plan but spending a large amount of money on this marketing might not be the best idea.As a business owner starts to make the decision about how to market for the company thought has to be applied to the types of marketing that not only work but also that fit into your budget constraints. Putting out too much money or picking a form of marketing that is ineffective could be very negative for your company.

In a client meeting last week, we heard, I needed to retrieve the Wilson proposal but I had to wade through two screens of results before I could locate the document I wanted. We took a quick look and saw that the document creator had assigned uncontrolled free text index terms. The assigned terms were cement deal and a state request for proposal ID number. The content management system identified the name of the document creator, the date of creation, the file type, and indexed the words in the document. The user wanted to locate the Wilson proposal and did not know the cement deal term or think about searching by RFP number.I thought about this common situation when I read a news story published on Real Wire. The write up had a title that grabbed my attention: OSS/BSS Data Misalignment Is Causing Havoc for CSPs. To be honest, I had no idea what a BSS or CSP was. I knew that OSS had something to do with either information or open source. The grabber for me was the phrase data misalignment. I dived in.First, OSS is the acronym for a company called Ontology Systems. Wrong about the open source, but right about the information referent. Located in London, the company has software...more
