Business IT Guide
About the Guide
e-skills UK, working with over 200 small businesses and leading industry experts, has developed the ’Business IT Guide‘ (the Guide). This online tool is designed to help small businesses identify ICT that could help their business, through a wide range of high quality business IT advice, and to support them in taking action. The Guides will:
- Increase confidence by providing quality, trusted, relevant advice on demand
- Improve awareness and understanding of the business benefits of different technologies
- Improve competence by providing targeted information written by professionals
- Aid successful action and implementation through guidance and support
Who is it for?
The Guide is aimed mainly at smaller businesses, with fewer than 10 staff, but will be of use to any business that does not have dedicated internal ICT expertise (typically organisations with up to as many as 25 people). The Guide can be used by anybody within such a business to explore how ICT could help their business make money, save time, save money and avoid problems.
