Technology levels the playing field for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Affordable cloud services, AI-powered automation, and cybersecurity solutions tailored for SMEs allow smaller businesses to compete with larger companies. A boutique retailer, for example, using cloud-based inventory and AI analytics increased sales by 30% in one year. Identifying processes to automate, investing in scalable cloud solutions, and prioritizing cybersecurity are key steps. SMEs that embrace technology strategically can scale faster, reach new markets, and compete globally without the budget of a large enterprise.
