Given the right tools, SMEs can help to grow the economy
SPONSORED: Government has long held the view that the small and medium enterprises (SME) arena holds the key to the creation of sustainable jobs and the driving of economic growth. The challenge for many SMEs lies in ‘keeping the lights on’ while still focusing on and driving forward their core business.

According to Aadiel Ayob, Executive: Innovative Enterprise Services and Solutions at Sizwe IT, by their nature, SMEs seldom have specialist IT teams, yet no business can function effectively in a digitally transforming world without an effective IT component. This, he says, is why hosted cloud services are ideally suited to this market sector.
“Web hosting, e-mail hosting, backup and recovery services and, of course, security, are all vital to a successful business of any size, regardless of the sector they operate in. The challenge for SMEs in this respect has always been twofold: the lack of relevant IT skills within the business and the fact that the cost of these services is viewed as prohibitive,” states Ayob.
