<p>Remember those nostalgic evenings strolling through Blockbuster, savoring the process of selecting the perfect movie for your Friday night? This was a time when the choice was simpler, and you could find exactly what you needed without much fuss.</p>
|
||
<p><img src="/images/blog/dollar_07_19_23_01.gif" alt="blog image"></p>
|
||
<p>The current digital landscape for small businesses, however, feels more like being lost in the infinite scroll of Netflix. There are approximately 30,000 B2B SaaS companies worldwide promising to solve all your woes with software solutions ranging from the overly basic to the incredibly intricate. It’s like trying to select a film from Netflix’s infinite scroll, you’re left overwhelmed with options and struggling to find the one that’s just right.</p>
|
||
<p><img src="/images/blog/dollar_07_19_23_02.gif" alt="blog image"></p>
|
||
<p>For instance, consider the dilemma of selecting a lead-tracking system. It’s like choosing between a black-and-white silent film or a 4K ultra-HD sci-fi epic when all you’re craving is a classic, feel-good rom-com. You need something more sophisticated than Google Docs, but Salesforce feels like sitting through a three-hour long foreign film with complex plot lines and no subtitles.</p>
|
||
<p>The saga continues across all departments. Marketing needs a tool slightly more complex than Excel (the equivalent of an old-school sitcom), but Hubspot turns out to be a dizzying, multi-season thriller with countless characters and subplots to keep track of. And project management? SMB’s need a tool that’s more than simple email correspondence but isn’t as convoluted as the twists and turns of a Basecamp or Monday.com drama series.</p>
|
||
<p>To cope with the dizzying variety, small businesses often assemble an array of software services that feel less like a carefully curated movie marathon and more like flipping through channels aimlessly on cable TV. The result is a mashup of applications that are rarely in sync, leading to a bad user experience and a waste of time and money.</p>
|
||
<p><img src="/images/blog/dollar_07_19_23_03.gif" alt="blog image"></p>
|
||
<p>What small businesses truly need is a “Blockbuster” solution — an all-in-one platform that can be as comforting and straightforward as walking into a physical store and finding the movie you want on the shelf. Imagine a platform that seamlessly integrates email hosting, lightweight project management, VPN, video meetings, team chat, and marketing, all without overwhelming you or causing you to feel out of your depth.

|
||
<p><img src="/images/blog/dollar_07_19_23_04.gif" alt="blog image"></p>
|
||
<p>This isn’t about sticking together a bunch of film reels to make one coherent movie. It’s about crafting a fundamentally user-friendly system from the ground up, one that’s tailored to the needs of small businesses. A solution that is as uncomplicated as selecting a DVD from the shelf, popping it into the player, and sitting back to enjoy the show.</p>
|
||
<p>So, here’s to bringing back the spirit of Blockbuster, in the world of small business solutions and finding the perfect balance, the right feature-length, the genre that fits — because small businesses deserve a solution that’s as tailored and enjoyable as their favorite film. Check out what Federated Computer offers for fast, responsive, private replacement for Google Workplace and much more…</p>
