Are your IT systems ready for growth?

It’s becoming more and more common to see SMEs impeded by their outdated IT systems. Many view IT as a necessary, but not important, service – and this view can seriously hinder their growth.

Is this playing out in your business?

I’m looking forward to headlining SmartCompany’s upcoming webinar on September 27, during which I’ll tackle a number of the IT issues faced by Australian SMEs.

Topics to be covered will include:

• Scalable technologies – such as cloud computing – that help level the playing field for SMEs.
• Why IT planning is crucial.
• The outsourced approach versus the in-house model.

The main focus of this webinar will be analysing the very real problems facing businesses and how cloud computing can provide a solution. We all hear about IT driving productivity and the cloud being the next big thing, but we’re not sure whether to take the leap. We certainly don’t want additional costs in our skinny businesses right now.

All businesses need to centralise their systems to make their office efficient and cost-effective, and this traditionally was solved by buying servers. You used to have no choice – you simply had to install something in-house if you wanted your people to have access to information and communication.

Now it is possible to shift all this to the cloud, but how do you know if this is right for your business? Will it allow you to maintain a competitive edge and help you keep up with the biggest players in your industry?

If you want to find out how cloud computing can help your business grow, and hear about the benefits experienced by our clients who have already taken the leap, then this 45-minute webinar is for you.
