3.2: SME Computerization

Supporting SME Computerization

Other Information:

The difference in the progress in IT levels between major enterprises and SMEs is large. To improve this situation, IPA supports the computerization of SMEs and is making various efforts for all enterprises to enjoy the benefits of computerization. Supporting the Computerization of SMEs -- Even if SMEs want to computerize, many cannot introduce the ideal system for their needs, because they cannot secure human resources with high IT knowledge. IPA provides their staff in charge of the areas involved in the system construction procedure - internal standardization and quality control - with reference samples for creating a system to meet their aims and objectives. For business managers deciding on the cost effects of an IT system, we also provide guides containing easy explanations of the difficult-to understand jargon required to order a system. All this information is released via our website and is freely available to anyone who abides with the conditions of use.
