Ramachandran, Director Keirestu Forum said, “SMEs are the heart of the country’s economy making a significant contribution towards the country’s GDP (45%) and employment (85%) in the last five years yet their contribution is practically unheard of especially during the recession stages. For SMEs, there is an acute need for open banking where third party Fintech companies can help provide access to SMEs in various transactions.”

“Digital transformation for SMEs will enable to flourish even further and technologies such as block chain and distributed ledger should be extended to SMEs as well. They (the SMEs) need to change their mind set and get into the process of learning new skills and unlearning the old and existing ones. Technology enabled Fintech companies will play an important role in this direction.”, added Mr Ramachandran.

Speaking on Digital Transformations-Challenges for SMEs, Mr Samir Sathe, Executive Vice President, Advantage Program, Wadhwani Foundation threw light on various challenges which will be thrown up during the technological evolution of SMEs. “The challenges are full disclosure of information, mistrust in data, threat of cyberattack, lack of education, organisation of discipline and culture. For SMEs to be technologically evolved the need of the hour is address all the challenges one by one through training sessions.”

Technology adoption is one of the key challenges for SMEs given the huge capex requirements for setting up Cloud services, voice, cloud storage and data security services. Solutions offered by Tata Tele Business Services however provide a level playing field to SMEs to compete with big corporates by offering a host of state-of-the-art technology driven services at affordable prices, thereby bridging the digital divide.

TTBS Smart VPN solutions enable SMEs to maximize their growth potential, optimise connectivity costs, enhance their customers’ experience and securely extend reach with instant access to cloud platforms. As SMEs are embracing digital, they are benefitting greatly by adopting cloud-based servers but are struggling to protect their data in transit as well as manage and monitor exactly who accessed these services. With Smart VPN, they can now have easy to use and highly secure interface and diverse selection of location specific servers, which allow for reduced latency, high bandwidth and unobstructed internet access.
