Small Businesses Should Keep Technology Simple

A business has to have people who know how to balance its spending to cover its bases and keep the company healthy. For the small business it is often a matter of choices. In this month’s newsletter, let’s go through some of the ways that keeping it simple might just be the best strategy in terms of their technology.

Practical Steps for Embracing Less is More in Technology

The best way to succeed with your business technology is to invest in the tech you can use practically. The first thing you need to do is to assess how technology could improve your process. To accomplish this you need to conduct a thorough assessment of your business and work to identify the elements of it that could be improved by technology. 

For many businesses, this means looking at tools that provide multiple functions. Some of the most popular include cloud-based productivity suites such as Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace. With these platforms, organizations gain access to email, document creation, and Internet-accessible file storage.

Small businesses don’t have the freedom to invest in experimental technologies. Anything they purchase needs to work immediately. One of the best ways to ensure a technology investment works the way you need it to is for the technology you add to offer integration with other tools you use. This not only can unify many of your operations, but it can also open up new options for automation, which will increase organizational productivity. 

Finally, any business looking to improve through its technology investments needs to have a strategy that fits within its confines. To make this a reality, you need to implement and continuously update your training platforms to ensure your employees understand how to best use the tools. This will improve productivity and help maintain security.
