During no other epoch did technology advance at as quick a pace as it does in today’s world.

Even a tour of leading tech companies will demonstrate that there is a vast disparity between how major IT companies and SMEs function.

Business competitors are always try to be a step ahead of their competition. Whether it’s being the first one to burst into a new market, find the best employees, or implement the newest in-house technology, all business people will tell you that there’s a very fine line between being first and second. One of the keys to success is efficient communication in the workspace.

Recent hacks to Twitter and Spotify have put many of us on our toes. The who’s who list of recently hacked companies is growing more rapidly with every year. With hackers clicking away without any restraint governments are having a hard time keeping up with the flux of illicit online behaviour.

Tired of waiting for files to load? You are not alone. A recent survey of 2,000 Brits found that most workers lose patience after less than 60 seconds of waiting for slow technology.

Do you still remember the office as it was, let’s say 10 years ago? Close your eyes. Take a walk in your mind’s eye.

Figures from sources as varied as the British Bankers Association, alternative lenders, and the government show that the trend has only been downward. For instance, lending platform FundingOptions report an overall 37% decline in SME overdraft financing from 2011 to end of September 2016.

It seems as though every year brings novel, ground-breaking technologies that can be implemented into the workplace.
