SEPTEMBER MONTHLY BRIEFING

NAVIGATING THE TECH HORIZON: NEXUS PRESENTS: BRILLIANCE – KEY EVENT FOR SME LEADERS

Technology is an essential part of any modern business, especially for small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that want to stay competitive and innovative in their market. Technology can help SMEs improve their efficiency, productivity, customer service, and profitability. It needs to be considered at a strategic level throughout any organisation and it needs time and attention.

One of the most promising and exciting aspects of technology is the advancement of artificial intelligence (AI), which can offer many benefits for SMEs. AI can help SMEs automate tasks, optimise processes, enhance decision making, and increase employee productivity. AI can also help SMEs create new products and services, personalise customer experiences, and generate insights from data. Rather than being seen as a threat, AI needs to be viewed as a tool that can augment your internal skills and capabilities. SMEs that embrace AI will gain a competitive edge and achieve their business goals more effectively. As exciting as it is, however, it is still a relatively new type of technology that needs to be used with some caution in a business setting.

From excitement to fear; cyber security is a vital aspect of technology that SMEs also need to pay attention to. Cyber-attacks are becoming more frequent, sophisticated, and damaging, targeting not only large corporations but also small and medium-sized businesses. Cyber-attacks can compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of business data and systems, resulting in financial losses, reputational damage, and legal liabilities. SMEs need to stay aware of the latest cyber threats and adopt best practices to prevent and mitigate cyber risks. Cyber security is not just a technical issue that can be delegated to the IT department, but rather a strategic issue that requires leadership and commitment from the board level of the business. SMEs need to foster a culture of cyber awareness and responsibility among all employees and stakeholders and invest in appropriate cyber security solutions and training.

How are you keeping on top of all of this in your business?  Wouldn’t it be great if there was an event you could attend that would offer insight and advise on all of these topics and more?
