Successful Accountability
|
|
We know you are looking for a company you can count on, one you can believe in. Serving businesses is what we do, it’s who we are. Over the years we have honed our software to the fine specimen it is today. We’ve been so successful at this because, as a team, we make ourselves accountable. We see or in some cases hear about a potential change that we may need to implement and we move on it.
We are always willing to:
- Proclaim that something needs to be done.
- Accept personal responsibility for tackling an issue, while always ensuring we are accountable with budget decisions.
- Make positive choices and decisions to act while thinking deeply about the consequences of each choice.
- Set high expectations for ourselves and our team.
It is important to us that our customers’ needs are heard and validated. All of these reasons and more are why we have produced some incredible solutions for our customers.

Excellence is constant, fluid and intentional. It requires a lot of forethought to achieve such an aspiration - a goal. Excellence doesn't mean perfection, what it does mean is that we focus on listening and accountability.
As you strive for excellence, you will need to take specific, attainable and measurable steps to achieve your goal.
At RDB Solutions, excellence is not just mouth service. We made the decision to strive for excellence and we did the work to break our goal of excellence into specific, attainable, and measurable action items. This means that we are focused on creating an environment that meets the needs of our customers from initial conversation through post sale support.

Now that you’ve purchased your new software, you are ready to install it and train your employees. Hopefully, you read my blog post “
How to Choose the Right Software Company
” and have chosen a software company that has made the development of a quality Customer Education Strategy (CES) a priority.
Training should be flexible and meet the needs of your company. If your new software is easy to use, it will likely be easy to learn, manage data entry errors, and increase productivity. The effect of this is seen in the strength of your team and, of course, your bottom line, and after all, who doesn’t like a stronger bottom-line.
Know your options!
