Technology Strategy for Small and Mid-Market Businesses: Invest Smart in Tech

When Pradeep’s $4M manufacturing business was considering $150K software investment, he wasn’t sure if it was the right decision. Should he invest in ERP? CRM? Both?

We helped him develop a technology strategy: (1) assess current technology and gaps, (2) identify business needs and priorities, (3) evaluate technology options, (4) develop business case and ROI, (5) plan implementation.

Key insight: he didn’t need the expensive ERP. He needed better inventory management and sales tracking. A $25K system solved both problems with faster payback.
