Automated Business Practices

      Automated Business Practices (ABP) are techniques which streamline business functions through the use of computers, machines and skilled human resources. NAME serves as a facilitator of automated business practices, providing explanations, training, and demonstrations of information management, and electronic commerce (EC). NAME also serves as a point of contact for explaining different methods of information management (IMS), electronic data interchange (EDI), and electronic commerce (EC). Nascent Applied Methods & Endeavors is actively addressing the technical issues affecting the customer. These include:
 

• Automated Business Practices: using appropriate automation as a tool in decision making and information handling. The goal is to use new technologies to their fullest extent to achieve a business advantage. Such technologies include: Bulletin Board Systems, Value Added Networks (VAN), Local Area Networks (LAN), Wide Area Networks (WAN), the Internet, Fax and Electronic Mail (E-Mail).
• Electronic Commerce and EDI: bringing to the globe new markets and trading partners through EDI by helping the customer apply electronic commerce sensibly.
• Scanning and Conversion: transforming hard copy data into an electronic form so it can be used more efficiently and cost effective.
 
      NAME maintains a common database of past experiences, and lessons learned in relation to automated business practices. This database provides a valuable resource in identifying solutions to client issues. The subcontractors of NAME are globally located and all have various specialties. These specialties includes: networking technologies, scanning and conversion, information technologies, automated manufacturing, automated design and commercial technologies.
 
 



Electronic Commerce

       Adopting EC & EDI can require a business to change its corporate culture, giving up old ways of doing business and old expectations. This century has produced many such changes already, as phone calls replace office calls and faxes replaces couriers and mail. Each such change occurred where it made business sense - and that is the recognition required of business. EC & EDI can make good business sense and businesses must be open to that responsibility.

       Substantial returns can reward businesses which interests are well considered toward change. EC & EDI offer competitive advantages, improved cash flow, expanded markets, and greater profitability for companies that implement them wisely.
 
 



Outreach and Consultation

       Outreach

       In addition to promoting, and facilitating automated business practice initiatives within industry, government, and academia, NAME can:
 

• Provide demonstrations of electronic commerce, enterprise work architectures, and related technologies.
• Perform studies and analyses to identify how electronic commerce and information management can improve both performance and profits.
• Conduct a business case analysis of a customer organization to determine the functional and economic impact of implementing EC technologies.
• Assemble a team of business and technical specialists to address a customer’s situation in depth.
• Assist the customer in developing prototype solutions using ABP and business process re-engineering.


       Consultation

       NAME offers help in the technical areas concerning automated business practices. Such areas include:
 

• The use of on-line and network data sources to support our clients.
• Database tools for the collection and analysis of lessons from previous consultations with people and businesses across various industries.
• Helping customers focus on important hardware and software features to assists in making "smart" purchasing decisions.
• Hands-on experience with ABP through evaluating and incorporating them into NAME’s business operations.
• The latest developments in ABP.
• EDI, EWA and ALP software, hardware, and implementation.
• Database design and implementation.
• Electronic document management.
• Scanning and conversion.
• Local area networks (LAN) and wide area networks (WAN).
• Multimedia.

 

   Special Training

       NAME will provide special seminars on information management, business process re-engineering, and electronic commerce. These seminars are available at both a NAME host production site or at the subcontractor’s facility. The available classes include:
 

• Electronic Commerce/EDI Orientation
• VAN Orientation
• Business Needs Analysis
• Process Management in a Technology Environment
• Data In a Business Environment
 
       NAME will deliver its training from a series of instructor-led autonomous agents to individuals & businesses at remote sites located through-out the world. In most cases the subcontractor will interact with the instructor (agent) and each other through the use of multi-media tools and the Internet as if they were together in the same classroom setting. Typically, the proposer’s past & current job related performance and task analysis leads to the identification of the educational needs which are either being met by current instructional strategies, are not being met satisfactorily, or are not being addressed at all because of various constraints. The effort is then to focus on the educational needs that are not being met satisfactorily or not addressed at all.

      Moreover, through intelligence built into NAME systems and the extended availability of across the board intelligent support systems, electronic commerce systems will enhance the support services. The ability to provide on-line answers to problems, through resolution guides, archives of commonly encountered problems, electronic mail interaction (and in the future audio & video support), and all that 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, builds contractual confidence and retention. Monitoring how subcontractors use support information also provides insights on improvement areas in current products & services, and the list of issues encountered with products and services can be a significant source of product and services feedback for the design of new products and services.
 

Q.  After the completion of the terms of my contract with NAME, will I maintain  ownership of any equipment or products developed before or during the contract  period with NAME or through the use of NAME’s technology?

A.  Yes, the security and proprietary rights agreements of NAME are specifically focused toward protecting NAME’s market share, and preventing competitors from using NAME’s secured business practices and technologies to compete directly with NAME, its subcontractors or its customers.
