Information overload is an increasing problem. Not just in the workplace, but in life in general.
Information overload, also known as infoglut, is trying to deal with more information than you are able to process to make good decisions. As a result, you either delay making decisions, or you make the bad decisions.
Because the world of vehicle maintenance and management is ever changing and becoming increasingly more complex, the need for quality news and information is growing. At the same time, we are being subjected to increased bombardment from infolgut, and with that come more aggravation and stress.
We have more to do, often with less resources and manpower, and everyone wants everything immediately, if not sooner.
Unchanged Mission
As our industry has continued its metamorphosis, the mission of Fleet Maintenance magazine has remained unchanged.
Fleet Maintenance is all maintenance, all classes, all the time. We deliver the best practices that maintenance managers need to keep their vehicles operating with minimal downtime and maintain a safe, efficient and profitable fleet.
Joint Development
To help you more rapidly get the pertinent information and news you need, Fleet Maintenance, along with sister publication Professional Tool & Equipment News (PTEN), have partnered to create a portal website: www.VehicleServicePros.com.
Professional Tool & Equipment News magazine reports on the latest developments in new technology for automotive tools and equipment.
Single Entranceway
A web portal, also referred to as a links page, is website that functions as a point of access to information on the World Wide Web.
VehicleServicePros.com serves as a single entryway into multiple applications, databases and resources that pertain specifically to the vehicle service and repair industry.
This new portal website, designed to be pleasing to the eye, has been formatted for ease of use so visitors can more quickly focus on, and find, the particular, quality information they want.
Additionally, the website’s resources can be easily searched through a variety of filters to speed up the search for the material you are interested in.
Valuable Resource
Launched in late August, VehicleServicePros.com will serve as a valuable resource, offering daily news, new tool and equipment product information and content about the vehicle service and repair industry.
What’s more, the portal website has a number of new features. These include:
- Integrated social media, with access to Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.
- Updated multimedia page, with full access to a video library featuring tool reviews and demonstrations.
- Webcasts.
- Resource library with whitepapers, reports, studies and other valuable content.
By registering for the website, you will be able to personalize the portal experience. Plus, your registration give you access even more valuable content, such as the downloadable resource library which contains reference material, reports, industry studies, white papers and more, covering a wide and diverse range of subject matter.
Competitive Advantage
Although computer processing and memory is increasing all the time, we are not getting any faster at using information. If you think about it, the human mind acts as a bottleneck in the processing of information.
Time has always been our scarcest resource. With the quickening pace of business and life, time is becoming an even more precious treasure.
VehicleServicePros.com was created expressly to help you cope with information overload.
Those that learn to deal with it effectively will have a major advantage as time goes on.
Be sure to give the new portal a test drive.
