Should SME manage their own servers?
There are many industries SMEs are involved in. Lately in Malaysia, the agricultural market is mushrooming. Having international customers forces some SMEs to have their own email and websites.
Many SMEs are often mislead that they need their own web servers and email servers hosted at their premises. If they do, then they will also require technical staff to support those services.
However, it would be much more cost effective to simply use web hosting (normally with email) services. In most cases, having your own application like ERP or CRM can also be hosted elsewhere, without going through the headache of managing your own.
Costs are cheaper, technical support is available (most of the time 24x7), and most importantly, SMEs can focus on their core business.
By defining your technnology requirements, you could save much more by using the right technology, and the best technology providers.
UsahawanTerbilang.com provides an affordable web and email hosting services from RM50/year.
Starting with basics
It is undeniable that any company in this new era should think about embracing technology to operate efficiently. It could be as simple as having MS Word to type your invoices, or as complicated as having a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system to keep track of leads, marketing and sales.
One of the biggest mistakes a company can make is swallowing it all up too soon. Sure its wonderful to have all those big automated systems which is "supposed" to help smoothen operations, but most of the time things get too big, too complicated. At the end, the technology becomes a white elephant. Money is wasted.
Start with basics:
1. An internet connection
2. PCs
3. Basic office software like word processors and spreadsheets
4. Email and a website
5. Telephones
As the business grows, it will be easy to identify where gaps are, and what can be improved. Bottom line, you should focus on your core competency - Your business.
