Here are a few companies who rely on ShowGo for their trade show needs and who we are proud to call our clients.

We're all going green at the office and in the home and that begins by going paperless.

Digital documents, just like paper, have to be stored somewhere. The paper files have to turn into some sort of digital file via scanner and ultimately they have to be stored. But you must also consider if you want the text searchable, do you require them to be on a shared network server, do they need to be edited or read only? How do you want to file them? What kind of reporting features do you require?

Most documents, once scanned, will be saved as either a PDF or tiff file. If you wish to search the documents you can use optical character recognition (OCR). You can then search for any word or phrase that you're looking for in the document.

Overtime, the files will out grow your hard drive so at the very least , buy an external drive to ensure that you have enough space to hold your documents.

If you choose to host the files yourself,

• Make sure you have enough disk space. Hard drives are getting cheaper and cheaper.

• Back up your files on a regular basis - hard drives can and do fail.

• Back up your files onto a separate device; flash drive, CD or another computer or drive.

• For Mac users, Time Machine regularly back-ups your system on to an external device like a dream. Just set it and you're done.

Lack of financing is a common situation for many companies right now. Companies need to be sure that the money going out is well-spent.

ShowGo is one of the only expenses in your trade show division that will actually save you time and money as well as helping you make better decisions for future shows.

• Use Budget vs Expense Reports to find out how you are doing for the year, for each show or per expense category.

• Use rent vs. buy scenarios to make better decisions in the future.

• Use ShowGo’s wizards and templates to cut down on redundancy as well as time in preparing for an event.

On top of that, Seattle Software Corporation will work with you to make ShowGo affordable and implemented immediately. Contact sales@seattlesoftware.com or 206.286.7677 ext.5 to get a new Estimate to see how affordable ShowGo is!
