• Its difficult - nigh on impossible - to run a
  business these days without keeping up to date
  with advances in technology, and these are just
  five of the tech essentials that every business
  should have
• Responsive web design Mobile commerce is on the
  rise, and people now want to be able to shop for
  items from their smartphones and tablets, and
  from wherever they happen to be. For a website to
  perform at its best, its design needs to be
  responsive, meaning that it should work
  effectively on any device. The investment for
  this need not leave a big hole in your budget,
  and its benefits could soon see your profits
  increasing. If your businesses website is not
  accessible from these types of platforms, then
  you could be missing out in more ways than one.

• Mobile money If your website has a responsive
  design and can be accessed easily from a mobile
  device, then you need to be able to take payments
  that way, too. Many more customers are paying for
  products or services online, and often from their
  mobile devices, and if someone is interested in
  what you are selling but cannot easily pay you
  for it, well that spells disaster for you and
  your business. Youll need to research mobile
  payment technology carefully though, and only
  invest in it after seeking professional advice
  and guidance.

  companies that can fall victim to cyber-attacks,
  smaller businesses may be at risk, too. Attacks
  from those attempting to steal credit card
  numbers from card reading devices, or by skimming

  company from such attacks, you must invest in the
  very best online security system that you can
  afford.

  active on at least one social media platform,
  whether it be Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn to
  name but a few, and these can be a great way for
  businesses to interact with their customers.
  Accessing these sites is of course free, but

  easy, and investing in someone with social media
  expertise, can often quickly prove its worth.
• Data Management Even if your company is small or
  medium sized, you should still be collating the
  data that you will undoubtedly have amassed, and
  using it to help you predict future
  opportunities. Investing in a system that
  automatically stores, collects and even analyses
  data, will help you to make the most of your
  business and help it to grow substantially. Seek
  professional help and advice, to get you the best
  system that you can afford, and which will be the
  most effective for your business and its needs.
