has been able to improve our business process in the following areas:

- Reduce the amount of time needed to perform admin tasks by half
- Eliminate redundant information in our client database
- Create a customizable target-marketing mailing list
- Improve our client reporting capabilities
- Facilitate the collection of data for special purposes

It has been a pleasure to work with the USC consulting team." Sandy Bleifer

"Our new Access database, when fully operational, will assist us in increasing our productivity
in processing and reporting statistical information across the baord. Instead of our past tedious and
time-consuming tasks, we will be able to generate the information we need in 2-3 steps." Marla Alvarez

ChemTrans, a bulk liquid chemical transport company
"The new system will save a considerable amount of manpower because the system will rate each job. This was an enormous complex task to develop because each of our customers has a unique contract rate. The new system is very user friendly, and will generate reports to give the company useful information in the course of doing business to determine prices, fuel taxes and trailer usage"
Debbie Smith, Controller

Association of Salvadorans of Los Angeles, an organization that provides social and legal support to Salvadorans and other Central Americans
"Your efforts are enhancing our community outreach and collections efforts. The Admin System allows us to easily identify clients that meet specific criteria. For collections, this means that we can identify the clients whose accounts are largest or most delinquent. The System automatically generates personalized collections letters and mailing labels, saving a lot of time. For community outreach, we can now target clients based on demographic profile or past transactions. your System allowed us to target a flyer to those clients in Los Angeles whose prior transactions identified them as likely candidates for a new immigration service. Your efforts resulted in immediate savings for ASOSAL. Our administrative costs have already been reduced by more than 30%. We feel confident that once the system is in full use, our overall costs will be reduced by over 50%. Even more important, your efforts have allowed us to handle the amazing growth of our organizaiton. Without increasing headcount, the Admin System allowed us to complete administrative tasks for 3,000 new clients within the past month alone." Dora Tejeda, Administration Leader

24st Street Theatre
"The team from USC was enthusiastic, affable and a pleasure to work with. They did a great job creating in information system for the theater. By helping us improve our audience attendance and patronage, we have increased our revenues. The easy to use reservation and box office processes has sped up this administrative necessity and eased the interaction with our customers. We are now better able to build and track our donor and subscription networks. And the more accurate customer information has enhanced our marketing efforts. All in all, it was a win-win situation for the 24th Street Theater and the team from USC. I highly recommend the course to other small businesses struggling to participate in the information age." Steve Markus, Managing Director.
