E-skillshas launched a business IT guide to help small businesses
make the most of IT.
The ICT Yorkshire Business IT Guide aims to help smaller firms
increase their productivity and competitiveness through better use
of technology.
E-skills said the guide will help businesses understand what
techonlogy is relevant to their particular organisation, and
support them in implementing it.
Topics covered include developing a website, implementing
security, investing in hardware and software, manage
communications, and using technology to enhance sales and customer
relationships.
The guide will firstly be available in South Yorkshire through
Yorkshire
Forward and
Business Link.
Karen Price, chief executive at e-skills, said many smaller
firms do not know where to go for impartial advice on introducing
new technology. "Technology has the power to improve efficiency,
open up new markets and enhance customer service. But for many
smaller firms it can be difficult to know where to start."
