What is SOHO ?

SOHO is an acronym for “Small Office/Home Office”.
Do you want to send an E-mail? Then you need an E-mail address.

Do you want to write documents? Then you need a Word Processing Program.

What makes the SOHO user and big business Office worker different is not the software needs but the budget available to meet those needs and the flexibility available to make the choices of which software to purchase.

There are two sides to every coin. While big businesses have much deeper pockets and can afford the fancy stuff they lack your flexibility to make choices for low cost and free solutions that are every bit as productive as the enterprise software that big business uses. It might not be as scalable but I bet you have some time before you need to buy software that will be used on over 100 desktops simultaneously. Flexability is your secret power that helps you compete in the marketplace. Now is the time to discover that flexability. Never before has there been so much quality software and powerful consumer products for the SOHO user.

What is the Targeted Audience for this Site ?

The SOHO audience we target have minimal background in Technology. There may be tidbits here for the more savy SOHO user. However, we think there is quite a lot of information already available for the savy user that has some technology understanding and has already done much research. On the other hand there is a disconnect for the non Tech savy SOHO users who just want to run their business and implement the Technology solutions that they need without spending all their hard earned money in the process. That is where we hope to help. Whenever we find a free or low cost solution we hope to pass the information along.

There are millions of Home Office users and Small Office users that have the same basic Technology needs as the Fortune 100 Companies. What the real difference between the needs of large corporations and small companies and home office workers is just the level of complexity.

We have taken it as our mission to help the SOHO user find and implement software and tools that are low cost (even free) and geared toward the small office environment.
