Businesses 'must regularly invest in software'

Date: 18th April 2011

Small businesses operating in various industries across the UK could be among those interested in the recent comments of one expert regarding software investment.

According to Progress Software, a group which aims to maximise the benefits of IT while minimising its complexity and cost, regular investment into business software can help enterprises expand.

Joshua Norrid, vice-president of travel and leisure at Progress Software, has said that while IT should be viewed as an asset, making a purchase should not be seen a final act.

He commented: "Technology creates wonderful opportunities to sustain and grow companies.

"Technology innovation should be looked at as an asset, it represents a beginning, but it is a journey and needs regular investment to keep it moving."

The comments come after the National Computing Centre urged small businesses to not waste any time in adopting cloud computing technology, saying that such firms are likely to see the advantages of moving quickly to the cloud.
