THE country’s small and medium enterprises (SMEs) don’t need to spend a huge investment in building their information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure as the market keeps on introducing new developments in a rapid manner.
In a recent webinar, Lawrence Ng, managing director of Boomi in Asia, told reporters that technology companies like Boomi are ready to provide SMEs in the Pilippiines and the rest of the Asian region solutions that are within their budget to enable them to grow.
“Boomi’s cloud-based subscription services is suitable for organizations of any size. We have customers ranging from SME to Fortune 500 companies,” Ng said.
“SMEs would be able to take advantage of Boomi’s low code solution for quick integration to allow them to go to market faster,” he added.
Since it is using a subscription-based model, Ng pointed out that local SMEs would not be constrained by an IT staff because the low code features of Boomi do not require extensive coding experience. Features such as Boomi Suggest that capitalize on the collective intelligence of the Boomi community to suggest data mapping of fields would allow SMEs to increase their productivity.
Moreover, Ng said automatic upgrades would not require SMEs to set aside IT manpower to maintain the integrations once they are in place.
He said the introduction of cloud computing technology in a sense has leveled the playing field as SMEs would now be able to enjoy the benefits of Boomi’s technology because the cloud-based solution on subscription has made it accessible. “SMEs nowadays are able to access the same Boomi technology as larger enterprises. This has improved the ability of SMEs to compete in the market,” he said.
Being a Dell Technologies company, Ng said Boomi is in a strategic position to play an important role in empowering the local SME market.
Although Boomi is a cloud native company, Ng said the company also gives an option for clients that would like to operate behind their firewall for integrating their on-site IT systems.
With its established presence in the Philippines, Ng said Dell Technologies would allow them to work and collaborate with their local SME clients to provide them the business solution they need. “In addition, we are constantly looking out for partners in the Philippines to build our ecosystem to serve our SME customers better,” Ng said.
