# Business Operations | | **Business Operations** is the harvesting of value from assets owned by a business. Assets can be either physical or intangible. An example of value derived from a physical asset, like a building, is rent. An example of value derived from an intangible asset, like an idea, is a royalty. The effort involved in "harvesting" this value is what constitutes business operations cycles. | | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | wikipedia:: [Business operations](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_operations) | [Business informatics](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_informatics) - [Professional services automation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_services_automation) ## Areas - [[Process Architecture]] - [[Business Process]] - [[Workflow]] - [[Workflow Management System]] - [[Automation]] - [[Risk Management]] - [[Codex/Tech/Security|Security]] - [[Backup]] - [[Disaster Recovery]] - [[Codex/Academia/Professional & Applied Sciences/Law/Law|Law]] - [[Codex/Academia/Humanities, Arts, & Social Sciences/Economics/Finance|Finance]] - *FinOps* - [[Human Resources]] - Consultants - [[Codex/Academia/Professional & Applied Sciences/Law/Law|Law]] - [[Codex/Academia/Humanities, Arts, & Social Sciences/Economics/Finance|Finance]] ## Tools - [[Telecommunications]] - [[Signal (software)]] - [[Slack]] - [[Discord (software)|Discord]] - Customer support/service/sat - [[CRM]] - contact - [[Chatbot]] - [[Codex/Tech/Email|Email]] - [[VOIP|Phone]] - [[Human Resources|HR]] - [[Recruitment]]/hiring - [[Onboarding]] - [[Codex/Academia/Humanities, Arts, & Social Sciences/Economics/Finance|Finance]] - [[QuickBooks]] - [[Marketing]] - [[Digital Marketing]] - [[Project & Product Management, Ownership, Leadership, & Agile]] - [[Trello]] - [[Knowledge Management]] - [[Notion (productivity software)]] - [[Obsidian]] - [[Automation]] - [[Runbook]] - [[Zapier]] - [[Node-RED]] - [[Kestra]] - [[Artificial Intelligence|AI]] - [[Ollama]] - [[Chatbot]] - [[Homelab & Self-hosting|Self-hosted]] vs [[SaaS]] - [[The Web|Website]] - [[Data]] - [[+Business Intelligence & Reporting|Business Intelligence & Reporting]] - [[Observability]]
