The English SME is not progressing adequately in the use of new technologies, electronic commerce and social networking, with an entrepreneurial mindset resistant to change and introduce new forms of management and communication in the business ecosystem . This is one of the findings from the X-ray of the SME 2011, the annual study prepared by Sage Spain.
A warning sign is the fact that 44% of English SMEs still do not have web , and those who have their own web site do not exploit their full potential, so for example there is little guidance from the web to generate sales with poor 9 % aware of the potential of electronic commerce and online store feature in their portals. The and mobile devices are used by 65.6% of SMEs and a significant 27% have complex mobile devices such as "Smartphone." However, the use to which it gives to the mobile device is still very traditional, predominantly to make and receive phone calls and a much lesser extent and for managing email, access to the internet or networks. Has also been detected in low utilization of access to management applications integrated into the devices.
In terms of social networks only 26.35% of SMEs recognize your presence, and of these only 29.6% use them to publicize and generate business opportunities. Both
-electronic invoicing used by a mere 15% of SMEs, and the use of electronic ID - that is missing at this time 65.50% of entrepreneurs, are other areas for improvement. In part
positive is the use of management solutions, and particularly those for accounting and billing, considered essential for SMEs as it saves time and money in developing their daily activities and helps them make a fast, reliable and effective decision making.
