What can Smart Technologies and Robotics do for Small and Micro Businesses?

In this webinar we review the difference between digital transformation and how it differs from digitisation. We outline how to identify where you and your business are on a digital transformation journey.

We introduce the six digital technologies, which when integrated into all areas of a business, result in fundamental changes to how the business operates and how value is delivered to customers.

We focus on the potential for smart technologies and robotics in small and micro businesses and the value they may add. We take a deep dive into IoT, process automation and smart innovation.

Hear from industry guest speaker, Infoforte, sharing real world case studies of businesses they support, incorporating smart technologies and robotics to grow and scale.
