edu Business Solutions has the honor of serving organizations that make a tremendous impact on our society. Those who use our print shop management software solutions and template creation and management tools shape the world that will be delivered to future generations. The work of colleges and universities, school districts, departments of transportation, cities, counties, medical centers, non-profits, major corporations and our national laboratories has a direct impact on people’s daily lives. It is our job to improve the work lives of the valuable staff members who keep these organizations alive.

One of the greatest threats to the culture of any large organization is staff fatigue and discouragement. When an organization does not or cannot allocate sufficient resources to the work required, workers begin to perceive that the job will never be done. Striving for excellence seems futile. No matter how hard they struggle, important tasks go unattended. Those who joined the organization because they believed in its vision and mission begin to question the organization’s sincerity. The best workers suffer the most when an organization gets stuck in old work processes that are outdated and outgrown. The feeling of overwhelm can leave even the best staff paralyzed and defeated.

Changing a work process can be a chore, but the reward is far greater than just the savings of time and money. The reward is hope. It is a staff who again believes that the organization’s mission is attainable. It is a worker who completes her day and knows that it was a day well spent with results to be proud of. It is a manager who can plan and execute based upon quick access to accurate information.

As we focus on improving work processes, we aspire to bring hope and excellence back to distressed organizations. We remember their mission. We value the work that our customers do. And we stand strong on our commitment to providing tools that help make their mission attainable once again.

– Mike Strand, President
