An enterprise is mature in IT construction when it really integrates computers with overall management, utilizes coordinated solutions to organize and fully utilize internal and external resources, promote expandability of corporate resources and promotes its survival, competitiveness and development opportunities.
In comparison, the swift development of the industry and large enterprises is in sharp contrast to low informationization and poor management in SMEs, which drives SMEs to make breakthroughs from informationization. As is indicated by researches, informationization market of SMEs is developing quickly with investment in IT applications hitting record high in a row. It is estimated that the market share shall reach over 180 billion Yuan with a compound growth rate of 15%.
The development has driven small- and medium-sized enterprises to pay more attention to two aspects in informationization building and applications: network-based management and mobile business.
Network management has become the mainstream application: the needs of future enterprises shall shift to process management of dynamic organization, cross-organizations, cross-regions and cross-space and to gateway and services. Coordinated management shall become the neutral application system of an enterprise, which shall be added with other business systems connecting with coordinated work systems so as to establish an entire IT system with coordination at the core.
Mobile businesses shall become an effective development model: SMEs have strong demands form informationization, however huge investment of informationization prevents their steps. In comparison, mobile businesses are suitable to the needs of SMEs with lower investment and low requirement on staff qualifications.
