Low cost or free applications and tools for SMEs
According to various reports and surveys, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) form a larger part of the GDP contribution. Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM) stated that SMEs are expected to contribute 22 per cent to India's GDP by 2012. But these are numbers, how do we see growth from ROI perspective? Well, the bitter truth is that SMEs are still not up to the mark. We need to up their contribution from current about 17 per cent.
“But if we talk about SME growth, they are under utilizing their capabilities”
So, what’s the Reason? One important fact here is that the success of an SME depends upon its quality services and yes brand building. The other factor that hampers the SME growth is limited availability of funds. Utilizing funds properly and in an intelligent manner makes or breaks the game for SMEs.
A proper insight about various technologies and tools available for free or a much affordable price certainly helps in accelerating the business. ICT is a new age communication technology that can be employed to give users quick access to ideas and experiences from a wide range of people, communities, and cultures. Moreover, ICT tools can be used to find, explore, analyze, exchange and present information responsibly and without discrimination.
