In today’s hyper-digital environment, the potential for security breaches and threats are increasing exponentially. When successful, those breaches can be devastating to small and medium-sized businesses’ (SMBs) reputation and longevity. However, digital cloud-based solutions offer these manufacturers built-in data security and protection measures that most companies would be hard-pressed to implement in their on-premises systems. In addition, for resource-constrained SMBs, adoption of digital technology solutions makes it possible to innovate and scale at a fast pace, allowing them to grow and be more competitive.
