About Us
RJ and Andrew are graduate students working on a research project through the University of Nebraska at Omaha under a grant from the Iowa West Foundation. Through the project, we are assisting small businesses with their Information technology (IT). Our project promotes economic development in Council Bluffs and surrounding areas by enhancing the use of IT by small businesses. We team up with a small business and go through a series of interventions lasting around 6 to 8 weeks. The interventions are designed to achieve one or more of the following outcomes:
- access to new markets (increased revenue)
- administrative efficiencies (cost and time savings)
- enhanced products or services (improved competitiveness)
- increased learning / skills development (improved capacity and competency)
- enhanced confidence / knowledge regarding technology (empowerment)
Our goals:
- Promote the economic development of small businesses in the Council Bluffs area by carrying out IT-related interventions.
- Enhance the capacity of small business owners and employees to adopt technology for their businesses through learning interventions.
- Build capacity to address the information-technology related needs of small business by developing a repository of reusable IT and learning solutions.
