The beauty of new age tech is that it’s affordable by anyone and at any budget. Our cover story delves into new technology developments that can be leveraged even by small and mid-sized enterprises on a budget, and grow their business.
A few years ago, if an IT vendor approached an SME owner soliciting for a new technology product, he might have considered himself lucky if the customer agreed to transform even a part of his IT infrastructure to adopt that new technology. There was good reason for this indifference as apart from driving some fundamental changes to the IT infrastructure, transformation meant parting away with good sums of money from the limited IT budgets. So while people have always wanted to adopt the latest in technology, they also want it to be more relevant to their needs and be seen to deliver the best RoI.
The scenario has changed over the years with technology transformation happening primarily at the backend over the Cloud and with more mobile IT solutions available. So, organisations today are not required to make fundamental changes to their IT infrastructure in order to embrace new tech. However, there are IT domains that have been impacted more by tech advancements, especially with the consumerisation of IT than others and it is these very domains that are likely to witness ready acceptance by SMEs in the coming future. Over the next few pages we discuss such technologies in detail and explain why it makes sense for SMEs to embrace them. We also present expert advice from key IT decision makers in the SME space and discuss how they plan to transform their IT infrastructure in the coming months. Meanwhile, here are a few highlights of what’s coming up over the next few pages.
