Critical Importance of Strategic IT Planning to SMB Growth

ByteSmart – we take the pain out of using technology by making IT simple for small businesses.

A recent survey of over 150 successful, small business executives by CDW Corp found that “…the strategic use of IT is one of the biggest challenges for small business growth, and one of the most important keys to success.”

Second only to recruitment and retention of employees, managing IT was a more significant challenge than understanding customer needs, covering external costs of doing business, and establishing and maintaining financial controls. 

There is no question that technology is getting more capable but complex at a dizzying rate.  In its simplest form, it is a functional tool to accomplish basic business tasks; however, it can be leveraged to accomplish so much more, an enabler of business growth, but only when directed strategically to match the organization’s goals and direction.

ByteSmart is aimed squarely at addressing that need – we are an advisor to small businesses by helping them to develop an IT roadmap with their use of technology, guided by their business goals, including the software that they use to run their business, the security and protection of their data and systems, and their use of communications and other business-enabling technologies.
