Intelligent cloud: A new 'playing field' for SMEs in the digital economy?

THE business landscape has changed drastically since the 1980s when the big tech companies such as Huawei and Amazon first started out. Thirty years ago, new tech entrants had to compete with established industry players that were already well-equipped with resources such as manpower and robust IT infrastructure.

Today, new technologies such as cloud, artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet-of-Things (IoT) have helped close the gap and address the challenges technology companies faced back then.

Besides higher agility, scalability and flexibility, nascent enterprises can now get their foot in the game much easier and faster.
