When we first offered our organizational and quality control software System100 to the public nearly 10 years ago, one of our first clients was a business owner from Canada.
"Linda" had a thriving commercial printing company, but she was seeking a solution to get a handle on the daily operations. Linda's printing company had grown beyond her ability to keep the operations in her head, which happens to many business owners. The seemingly endless activities, managing employees—literally thousands of items, processes and decisions that must be addressed in a growing company in order to maintain control—all of it causing frustration and a sense of hopelessness for her.
