As a digital servicing company, Web Spiders approach to a potential or existing account also needs to go from technology first, to solutions first. So, the next time you are talking to a client, think how you can recommend practical workarounds to issues rather than pure tech ones. Keep in mind that business does not change to suit technology; technology has to fit around business processes. Of course, technology improves business processes and enhances efficiency and that should be the next thought when proposing any solution to a client.
