Even more exciting is the power of the 24-hour clock. I can vividly recall having to turn around a massive report during a period of extensive travelling. The ability to pull together a few ideas and generate a simple set of transcriptions and notes (not always in the right order!) and send these overnight to Australia was enormously effective. Can you imagine the gains when you come into the office first thing the next morning to find this large report is already completed and simply awaits a polishing and completion exercise?

A further big benefit, which is not always appreciated on the first use of this system, is how it acts in terms of overall planning and organisation. You quickly become aware that the system can also be your own private secretary or personal assistant. Notes can be jotted down with small action points made ready to be reviewed when time permits. Finally this can be put into a logical ordering; the bane of everyone's life…"the to do list".

Being able to keep random thoughts and ideas together at the vital moment of generation and then to pull them together into an effective management organisation tool can never be underestimated.

In every way the system works. It saves time and expense but more than anything delivers another level of productivity and efficiency to the executive. What the senior managers of the 1980s or 1990s would have given for such a tool! Transcription can deliver as much power and impact to the executive as the first PCs and the best thing is that the greatest gains and the greatest excitement are delivered from day one.

Pacific Solutions works and is effective straight out of the box.
