Summary
Small to midsized enterprises (SMEs) are vital to our economies they succeed through hard work and entrepreneurial spirit but, like all of us, have been dramatically affected by COVID-19. Unpinning Shopify’s growth is an interest in automating and integrating inventory management, delivery, and fulfillment information between eCommerce and ERP systems. When running a lean operation tighter integration gives businesses the ability to redeploy a small staff to value areas rather than to entering data from one system to the next. Moving to software as a service model (SaaS) has many benefits Vision33 has discussed in the past: it offers businesses greater flexibility to support a remote workforce and enables them to rapidly deploy digital solutions as they adapt to the new normal. Most importantly for SMEs, the Cloud’s lower total cost of ownership (TCO) over on-premise IT infrastructure maintenance makes it a strategic investment for the long term.
