Yahoo News Web chat: How tech can give SMEs a competitive edge
Join a panel of experts from 12.30pm GMT on Thursday 27 April to discuss how your business can use digital platforms and technology to gain a competitive advantage.
For small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) looking to grow and thrive, technology can hold the answer.
Whether it’s a mobile-friendly online store to enable customers to shop with you on the go, or recruitment software to help you find the best industry talent, digital platforms and tech can give businesses the push that they need to stay competitive.
In a recent article for Small Business Connect, Edward Currer,
creative director at branding company, Vinyl Impression, said that using web apps and widgets had sped up its design and print processes by a few days: “Vital time in such a fast-paced print industry."
But for SMEs without expertise or knowledge of implementing new tech, where do they start? What different digital tools can businesses embrace to improve their work systems and processes? What challenges might they face? And what are the benefits for both the business and staff?
Join us and a panel of experts and SMEs from 12.30-2pm GMT on Thursday 27 April, as we attempt to answer these questions and more.
