Our research reveals four factors to finding software without losing momentum.
Operating a small business has never been more fraught with uniquely modern challenges. From pandemic-related shifts in how we work and what consumers expect, to more recent economic and supply chain insecurity, it’s no wonder software and technology takes an increasingly important role moving into 2023.
Small and midsize businesses (SMBs) use software to build a foundation on which to grow and optimize, but the makeup of that foundation is evolving rapidly. Companies of all types and sizes now wrap the basic stack of HR, accounting, and CRM (customer relationship management) with a new layer of cybersecurity, IT support, and analytics.
These previously nice-to-have supporting actors are taking center stage in 2023 and beyond just so small businesses can maintain data safety and competitiveness.
To ensure business leaders are able to find the right technology quickly, we conducted our 2023 SMB Software Buying Trends Survey of more than 1,500 business leaders across five countries. With this survey, we discovered the top types of software adopted in 2022, how IT budgets are changing for next year, how SMBs are evaluating and selecting software, and what triggers their search in the first place.
