With digital transformation accelerating, SMBs face a tough choice; keep deploying new technologies at great expense or scale down and risk competitors gaining an advantage.
Both have risks: investment in the latest technologies is expensive. A business can end up chasing benefits that are impossible to realise – but sticking with what you already have can mean standing still as competitors modernise.
SMBs need a way to simplify digital transformation across the entire technology lifecycle, including setup, configuration, and deployment of new technologies, so that the investment in transformation is agile.
HPE offers an integrated digital transformation approach with automation, tools, and technologies that handle any requirements.
