Smaller firms in East of England to get help in making the most of IT

A new service to help smaller firms improve their productivity through technology is launched in the East of England today by e-skills UK and the East of England Development Agency (EEDA). EEDA is introducing the Guide as part of its £2.8 million ‘takeITon’ initiative to boost the competitiveness of businesses in the region through the use of IT.

e-skills UK’s Business IT Guide is designed to help small companies understand what technology is relevant to their organisation and support them in taking any necessary action. It covers topics ranging from developing a website, implementing security and investing in hardware and software, to using technology to enhance sales and customer relationships and manage communications.

The Business IT Guide will form part of the takeITon programme which also includes the provision of specialist Business Link IT advisers, a series of workshops and events, and a grant funding programme for selected eligible businesses.
