A big part of your business success is going to depend on the quality of the components that you put together in your business model. These may primarily involve something you produce. Or they might be a part of the administrative or efficiency process that you put together to furnish your services to clients.


A few examples of times when you want the highest quality of components that you can find might be electric motors, printers and scanners, a high-quality cloud computing service, or mobile computing power via devices such as laptops, tablets, or mobile phones.

Electric Motors

If your company produces a product that requires continuous power, there’s a good chance it needs an electric motor. If you don’t manufacture electric motors of your own, this means your firm will have to outsource the purchasing power of them.

Engines come in a wide range of quality. Sometimes that quality is associated with a price point, but at other times there isn’t a direct correlation. So you have to find an electric motor supplier that you can rely on to give you high-quality parts for the purpose of being assembled into your product.

Printers and Scanners

It’s a distinct advantage to be able to do scanning and printing at your own outfit. Even though you might be able to send out a digital file to some other firm and get it blown up to a larger format, having those kinds of options available in-house can save you a ton of money and improve your flexibility.

Buying a large-format printer means that you can print items that can go up to very large sizes, which gives you leeway in terms of potential photographic and promotional output.

Cloud Computing Services

You might not initially think of a virtual service as a component of your operations, but it certainly can help your business model if you choose to look at it that way. When you select a cloud computing service, it creates the digital and virtual threads that connect all of the physical components of your business.

When you have an excellent cloud computing service on hand, this means that you will be able to do jobs efficiently and in real time, partly because of your ability to connect with employees, coworkers, and clients alike.

Mobile Computing Power

Another component in many successful firms is the ability to do high-powered work on the go. Your employees should have high-quality mobile phones, tablets, and desktops at their command.

If you can do heavy jobs whenever you are not at home base, that opens up a lot of options regarding your team’s ability to visit client sites or perform assignments in a way that makes you more visible to clients on an ongoing basis than if you were stuck in an office setting.
