Steve Job's Lost Greatly Affects Business Industry

Steve Jobs died yesterday of pancreatic cancer. Now who is he by the way, let us recall how and why does he become iconic to everyone. For the benefit to those who doesn't know him, Steve Job is a co-founder of Apple Company where MAC book, ipad, iphone, itunes and etc. are only of his masterpieces. He led the transformation into a mobile computer revolution because of the devices he conceptualized. Indeed, he is a true visionary and creative genius. If we think how it greatly affects the automotive industry since this is quite far from the business focuses he had. Well basically, its not just automotive business is affected from this but the whole business landscapes. He is the one who initiates and mastermind of mobile technology. A man like him is a great lost to the business world, it's not the product but the idea and concept he created. For me no one can ever replace him for the great idea he contributed that make life as easy as possible. Now we are moving forward to different approach of operating a business and most likely this will be gone for now and hopefully someone will emerge and follow his footsteps. We shall live and gain inspiration to his legacy.

Means of Communications

The only way to sustain credibility of dealing online is to give the client an access or portal that could get through easily on what they transact. Most likely communication is very much important here. We cannot afford to lose them by get in touch with them once.

Now what are means and ways to do this? No. 1 activity online is email or electronic mail. Most of top 500 fortune company are using this as a major communications. Simply it's a lot faster than the old way of mailing and even more secured and can even keep it with confedentiality. Examples are Gmail and Yahoomail , these are major email services that can be trusted. More features everday and even it creates big storage just to accommodate our needs.

Chat basically derives from the word talk and again we have Google Talk and Yahoo Messenger. One good thing for chat, it has a real time communication and even voice and video functionality added just recently.

Though these are for free but for me it is better to have my own tools because customization really matters especially if you want features to be added which are not yet exist from any tools on the net. Scalability and productivity is the keypoint here to create an effective way of communications and even lead to sales.

Protecting from vulnerabilities of buying cars online.

We all know that one way to get expose is to publish something on the net. Currently more than 400 million sites that are now registered online.

The big question is how can we prevent these problems that are facing right now such as web defacement, sql and web injections, hacktvism and worst thing is denial of service.

I have attended a conference that talks more on web securities. From there I have learned a lot on what are best practices that could apply to your site inorder to protect from any intrusions. Basically first thing to do is to set policy in administering website. Though this sound so technical but it means is to impose regulations like regular patching and monitoring. Apply third party software that will scan activities everyday. Most important is to get update with the latest technology that pertains to internet security.

Now how it does related to buying of cars. As a used car dealer this is very much significant. What our aim here is to gain trust from our client wherein they are confident to shell out money and buying it online. Protecting from any vulnerabilities is the same as protecting your business as a whole.

Vehicles at your fingertips

Smartphones, tablets, ipad, itouch , ipod and many more. These are examples of gadgets that exist nowadays. Before it was only used mostly for entertainment and gaming purposes but eventually use for serious business such as buying, shopping and even bidding.

I'm a car enthusiast person and I want to know if buying vehicles can be done using merely your fingers. Indeed it happened, in fact a lot of businessman wanted to do their transactions on their mobile gadgets. Aside from easy access of the site it hasten up their transactions as well. Moving forward I can see a bigger perspective view that would totally change the business landscape. A lot faster than the usual processes, more secured even if you are not on the operation site and even more profit comes in for a very short span of time.

It is simply amazing for a used car dealers. By moving at your fingertips you can do the whole business operations run with lesser effort and expenses. Vehicles are now relying at your fingertips as quoted on my title and it somehow turns into a realization.

Gives back with big discount.

Customers who do transactions regularly will be given a reward. This type of privileges applies mostly to all groceries, department stores or even in the private market. Now even does not limit to all goods and it applies to those who always purchases vehicles. This is how it goes, once a customer purchase vehicles and plan to purchase in the future will be considered as partners and will track all the transactions from purchasing down to payment. The good payer he/she is and the amount of vehicles he/she purchases, the chances of giving back big discount on the next transactions. Especially to all used car dealers who buys cars in wholesale. A bigger chances awaits with special services as well. This what we called giving back or simpler called reward.

Respecting Privacy for Online Transactions.

The most important thing for an online transaction is the word "trustworthy". We might get to think of how we be able to protect customer or end user from this public and very conspicuous operations.

There are lots of things to consider in respecting the privacy of the customer.

1.The physical address which is to ensure relevant information to be serve.
2.The active email address which will be the tool use as main communications.
3.The history which requires unique ID from the customer to get the status of orders, payments and other related transactions.
4.Phone and fax numbers which will directly be called or send notification if problem occurs during orders, purchase and shipment.
5.Credit cards must not be retained with information and used only for payments.
6.Spam email which not be underlying from any other third party especially dealing with sensitive transactions.

With all of these, the assurance to keep the business starting from sales representative down to the customers are fully secured and with privacy being protected.

Vehicle Online Auctions

As we define auction it is a public sale in which property or items of merchandise are sold to the highest bidder. But now on this web era we can do it online. Typical examples are those who sells pre-owned cars in the internet. But many people want to know how does online auction works?

Basically it is just the same process what we have seen on tv or in the commercial places. However what it makes more advantage because you need not to go far as long as you have internet connections at home, then you can participate on the auctions. Likewise did to most of used car dealers online. Vehicles are put into auctions using web technology and automatically emailed you if you won on the item you bid.

From this processes I consider business here is easy, by just merely pressing button on you computer and voila! you own a car without exerting much effort.

IBCJapan Vehicle Search features

The second most activity in the internet is searching. People search for different purposes. They search for places, games and businesses. Now I begin to think of that if owning a website especially it sells used cars on the net, I must see to it that I may able to give user a good services.

One of the concrete example is IBCJapan. They have this very nice vehicle search features from the time you open their website.

Searching is based on the different criteria such as search by make, search by type and even search by stocks in different categories.

With this it helps user especially dealers to get what they want in buying used cars.

Dealing used cars using Android Technology

We have seen lots of technologies that somehow penetrates the market. Some are intended for gaming purposes, some are for entertainment and social networking and some are for serious business. Of all I've mentioned I see great potentials in Android technology and what is this technology all about? It is an operating software developed by google itself. Basically this software installed mostly on smartphones or even in tablet gadgets.

Based on the statistics presented , Android is the leading software for smartphone market shares and in fact it surpasses iphone and blackberry. In terms demographics majority of the users are those ages ranges from 18-44 who possesses purchasing power capability.

For all used car dealers it is a great opportunity for your business driven using this technology. Since most people who uses android would rather prefer downloading business application than gaming or entertainment.

Moving forward android technology changes the business landscape and giving people a more convenient and easy access for business transactions particularly on automotive industry.

Advantage of dealing used cars

Due to economic turmoil suffered all over the region. People tend to be practical
in handling their own business. Especially in the automotive business instead of dealing new cars they
rather choose buying used cars. They most commonly known as used car dealers since they purchase used cars in wholesale. Now some rather think how they can be assured in terms of quality. As I've research and most survey states that
there are lots of advantages of being a used car dealers.

First, it's safer because warranty is there and can be able to protect buyers from any malicious transactions.
Secondly, most of the units comes with good quality and proper inspections since this will undergo series of testing before it releases to the market.
Most importantly much cheaper but competitive enough than buying new cars.

Being a used car dealers, it is also a good opportunity in a business. Not just it gives the chance to success but it helps people buying cars at their own budget limit.
