CompTIA - IT Infrastructure is a Top Budget Priority for SMBs | Trend Watch, Ep. 10

Carolyn April, senior director of industry analysis at CompTIA, shares data from CompTIA’s SMB tracker. During the last year, approximately 30% of small businesses have struggled due to COVID-19’s impact on the economy. But the pandemic has also shed light on the technology priorities of SMBs—and it’s not emerging technology. IT infrastructure, including hardware like laptops, and productivity tools, like collaboration platforms, has been critical to SMBs particularly as remote work has taken hold.

In this video, Carolyn shares:
• Data about how small and medium-sized businesses have performed over the last year.
• The SMB's budget “wish list.”
• Why information technology infrastructure remains the top tech priority for SMBs.
