From October 18 to 24th, it’s BDC Small Business Week™ 2015. Each year, Business Development Canada (BDC), the only bank dedicated exclusively to entrepreneurs, recognizes Canada’s small and medium-sized (SME) businesses contribution to Canada’s gross domestic product. This year the company’s annual celebration of small and medium-sized businesses comes in the form of conferences, seminars, information sessions, and events across Canada to help Canadian entrepreneurs.
To coincide with BDC Small Business Week™ 2015, Vision33 is doing its part to recognize the contribution of the small and mid-sized enterprises throughout Canada by helping to break down financial barriers for SMEs. In the same way that the BDC supports Canadian SMEs with funding, Vision33 ensures that when it comes to technology investment, that business owners maximize their investment in business software.
BDC’s recent poll and infographic on small business in Canada reveals that when it comes to investing in technology, only 60% of Canadian SMEs incorporate technology in their business plans. But of those that do, 82% obtain a positive return on technology via productivity gains, higher efficiency and improved competitiveness. To help SMEs cover the initial financial investment of transitioning to new technology, Vision33 is offering the Business Accelerator Contest.
By taking care of the financial commitment, Vision33 removes a barrier that might otherwise delay the opportunity to move to a unified ERP system and streamline operations. One lucky Canadian company will win the$50,000 Business Accelerator package. It includes SAP Business One software licenses, Cloud Hosting with Amazon Web Services, the support services needed to ensure profitable growth and much more.
