A large number of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are yet to adapt to the fast moving technology either because of a lack of knowledge or finances, experts have said.
According to them, such companies, especially owner-operated small companies (which account for more than 90% of businesses in New Zealand) do not appreciate the fact that state-of-the-art technology can not only be cost-effective but also enable them to foster their business prospects, leading to higher levels of productivity and profitability.
Saby Upadhyay, Founder and Chief Executive of the Auckland based WSG Technology said that web technology is constantly evolving and hence it was important to choose a service provider who understands the specific needs of not only the industry but also the individual company concerned.
“Small companies are constantly at a disadvantage in terms of keeping in place appropriate technology. WSG Technology aims to empower such organisations to optimise the use of appropriate technology,” he said.
