Did you know that SMBs account for 99.9% of businesses worldwide? Yes, globally there are more than four hundred million SMBs.
SMBs are the backbone for stimulating economic development in any country. They not only provide employment to a large section of the country but also help in lowering production costs and triggering competition among industries.
They are typically more adaptable to rapidly changing environments than large corporations because they have fewer resources. As a result, SMBs also play a crucial role in driving innovation and adopting new technologies. They serve as the trailblazers and early adopters of new innovations, helping shape the future direction of industries and economies.

Making the transition to modern technology can be challenging for SMBs – primarily due to a lack of knowledge or technical expertise and budget constraints.
