Signing up for the programme means businesses set to benefit being more competitive, have lower operations costs, better operational efficiencies, and increase their overall revenues, it added.
“Through the SME Digital Accelerator, we offer SMEs a structured approach to implement the right digital solutions that can help transform their business in terms of people, processes and above all – mindset.
