Embracing Cloud by SMBs for Business Resilience

unwiredcp2021-03-26T05:24:54+00:00

The pandemic has driven home the reality that digitalization is a big business differentiator for SMBs. In the face of reduced purchasing intent, reduced productivity and limited in-store traffic, SMBs that pivoted quickly to technology demonstrated higher adaptability and resilience compared to those that did not. As a result, SMBs are taking the ‘digitalize to survive’ mantra to heart. Thus, we at The Economic Times are organizing a focused roundtable on the topic “Embracing Cloud by SMBs for Business Resilience”. This session will dig deeper into the criticalities of why cloud is utmost important for these backbones of the economy and why it should be of top priority for all sectors to help SMBs navigate the evolving digital landscape.
