Technology is both exciting and confusing. The latest developments are snapped up by consumers, and new applications are touted for their ability to save both time and money. But the sector is evolving at such a pace that businesses are finding it hard to keep up, especially with the pressing demands of running day to day operations.
Insider’s inaugural Business of Technology conference, which is aimed at small to medium-sized companies, will focus on four key areas you need to know about to drive efficiency now. Through a combination of presentations and panel discussions the event will focus on hardware, software, communications and security.
