There has never been a better time to adopt digital tools and technologies for your business. There are more options than ever to help save you time and improve business performance, each created to support different industries, business types, and functions.
There’s also a new Canadian Digital Adoption Program available – a subsidy offering businesses 90% of the cost up to $15,000 for developing a digital roadmap and transformation strategy with the help of a digital advisor. Approval for this subsidy is fairly easy to obtain and KWB has received approval to provide services such as planning, strategy development, and road mapping that can be paid for out of this subsidy.
How Cloud Technology Can Help Your Business
Migrating business processes and administrative activities from paper or manual desktop entry to digital and cloud-based software will save you time, money, and energy. Many tools – like Quickbooks Online and related apps – are user friendly and intuitive, even for the most tech-averse business owners.
Implementing digital tools and technology improves the accuracy of your data and information, automates workflows and processes, and provides you with more meaningful reporting to help you make better business decisions.
