Small business challenges

The competitive landscape for small businesses has changed dramatically over the past
decade. Your customers may be located anywhere in the world, and they expect to be able to
do business with you 24x7, using any device. Your competitors may have expanded from other
small businesses in your local geography to those based on the other side of the globe.
Your IT infrastructure needs to be able to respond to these challenges and enable you to stay one
step ahead of the competition.
Mobility continues to change the way organizationsand the worldconduct business. New
devices and platforms can make it easier than ever to communicate with employees and customers.
As a result, businesses are presented with more opportunities to provide innovative productivity
enhancements, products, and services.
Many small businesses have not developed a wireless infrastructure, while others need to
upgrade existing wireless networks to keep pace with growth and change. As they strive to
thrive in a global economy, these businesses need to be able to accommodate the bandwidth
demands of wireless and wired devices that can enable their employees to conduct business
anywhere, anytime.
They need to be able to handle personal devices and disparate serviceslike Wi-Fi, text
messages, smartphones, apps, tablets, and cloud computingthat make it easy for customers
to do business with them, and that enable employees and vendors to stay connected away from
the workplace.
Simply put, mobility has introduced both opportunities and challenges that a small business
needs to plan for to reap its benefits.
