在过去的几年中,中小企业正在成为IT市场和应用最为活跃的推动力已经是不争的事实。随着IT技术及相关产品的普及,过去只有大型企业方可染指的先进技术和解决方案都已经日趋“平民化”。作为在商业领域最具潜力,最具灵活性的力量,越来越多的中小企业都已经开始甚至加速利用IT技术来改善、改造自身业务流程,将那些既买得起,也用的上的技术和产品,迅速部署到核心部门。从发展的眼光看,中小企业已经普遍认定自身的业务成长将更加依赖于IT技术,并将其视之为提高自身生产力,并拥有远远领先竞争对手的优势的强大辅助力量。但是,IT产品和服务日新月异,在为中小企业带来更多的选择的同时,也为中小企业采购,部署和维护IT产品带来了诸多困惑。方案考虑不周全,设备选择不合适,维护策略不完善,都可能使中小企业不仅无法享受IT技术所带来的效率提升,反而会陷入四处“救火”的困境。也正是因为这一原因,使得不少中小企业的管理者无法下定决定实施IT解决方案,或者仅仅将IT技术和产品的部署限制在较小的范围,甚至不敢深入到自身的核心业务当中。荀子曾说:“欲求木之长者,必先固其根本;欲求流之远者,必先浚其源泉”。毫无疑问,商用电脑正是中小企业IT建设中最为重要的基石,只有奠定这一牢固的基础,中小企业才能在IT技术的助力下,令自身业务得以迅速起飞。那么,如何在这方面做出正确合理的选择呢? In the past few years, SMEs are becoming the IT market and the most active driving force has been an indisputable fact. With the popularization of IT technologies and related products, in the past only the advanced technologies and solutions that large enterprises can refer to have become increasingly “civilian”. As the most potential and most flexible force in the business field, more and more small and medium-sized enterprises have begun or even accelerated the use of IT technologies to improve and transform their own business processes. Those who are both affordable and useful Technology and products quickly deployed to the core. From a development perspective, SMEs have generally recognized that their business growth will be more dependent on IT technologies as a powerful aide to improving their productivity and having the advantage of being far ahead of their competitors. However, the ever-changing IT products and services bring more choices to SMEs and also cause many puzzles for SMEs to purchase, deploy and maintain IT products. Inadequate consideration of programs, improper equipment selection, and inadequate maintenance strategies may not only make SMEs unable to enjoy the efficiency gains brought by IT technologies, but will be caught in the plight of “fire fighting”. It is also for this reason that many SME managers can not decide whether to implement IT solutions or only limit the deployment of IT technologies and products to a small extent and may even not dare to go deep into their own core businesses . Xunzi once said: “For those who want to live in the wood, they must first solidify their roots; those who desire to flow away must first dredge their source.” Undoubtedly, commercial computers are the most important cornerstone of IT in SMEs. Only by laying this solid foundation can SMEs make their business take off rapidly with the help of IT technology. So, how to make the right choice in this area?
