Businesses in 2021 began to look deeper into new IT solutions like, Team International to improve the processes of their firms. Cloud computing and mobility have always been buzzwords that have the potential to impact businesses of all sizes in many positive ways, such as growth, process improvement, software flexibility, mobility, ease-of-use, data accuracy, and overall efficiency.
According to SMEs, the following top 5 IT solutions were demanded in the last year:
1. Integrated ERP solutions “as a service”

In the past, SMEs did not have access to a fully integrated ERP solution because they were very expensive. Nonetheless, many businesses still rely on outdated and inflexible legacy systems. Most business owners are hesitant to update their legacy systems due to the initial large investments they made.
As a result, their company cannot expand and become as efficient as it should be. Today, an ERP solution not only helps a firm to integrate all of its business components into a single software system, but the ‘as a Service’ element also ensures that the system is kept up to date with regular maintenance and upgrades.
As an alternative to one-time large payments for the system, SaaS (Software as a Service) requires monthly subscriptions. As a result, IT providers can manage all your IT needs without requiring large capital investments or internal IT resources.
2. Mobile commerce and e-commerce
Online shopping is very popular today among consumers. Online marketing is being increasingly recognized by businesses as a means of attracting new clients and retaining them. In addition to shopping through their computers, tablets, and smartphones, consumers are also using their smartphones and tablets to shop, which creates the need for an mCommerce (mobile commerce) store. Any eCommerce site should be mobile-friendly, especially those with an eCommerce component.
3. A fully managed EDI translation tool
If you have a small to midsize company, there is no reason to deal with all your EDI transactions in-house. With the expertise in EDI communication that third party IT providers have, they can take care of all EDI file conversions for you without the high fees and unreliable support. It does not require EDI professionals to be in-house or the installation of software or hardware.
Our company offers a service that converts EDI to XML and vice versa. When your company uses this service, you will receive automated notifications when orders have been sent and received. With this fully managed EDI service, businesses can concentrate on their day-to-day tasks without having to worry about the hassles of EDI or large fees.
4. Business Continuity
One of the most popular IT solutions this year was business continuity. Backup and recovery are finally being handled by a solution that eliminates tapes and drives because they are outdated and unreliable. Instead, this advanced technology performs real-time data and full machine backup on-site, on the QBR device, through virtualization and also offers off-site backup to the “cloud”. Your critical data will be secure in the case of a disaster, so you do not have to worry about your business being down or losing data.
5. Application for mobile businesses
‘Mobility,’ a phrase that has become increasingly popular in 2021, has been demonstrated to boost employee productivity. Because many employees and executives use personal cell phones and tablets, a considerable number of mobile devices currently reside on company networks, resulting in the recent movement and desire for BYOD at businesses.
With this growing number of mobile workers, businesses are adapting their most important applications and functions to cater to these users. In addition to sales teams and construction workers, on-site inspectors, out-of-town executives, and others who work from home or away from the office will surely benefit from these business apps.
Adapt the latest affordable solutions to gain a competitive edge in 2022 – don’t start with outdated, inflexible systems.
