It used to be when one thought of the ‘future’ they may imagine The Jetsons; flying cars and teleportation machines. It sounds ridiculous, but at one time so was the idea of electricity or even the Internet seventy years ago. Now look at us, technology has evolved into being an important part of our everyday lives.

Let’s talk about SMEs baby, let’s talk about you and me, let’s talk about all the good things and the bad things that maybe.
