Being a mid-sized company is not always a comfortable place to be.
Mid-sized enterprises face the distinct challenge of balancing agility against scale. They may lack sufficient agility to compete against smaller companies that can be more responsive to change, yet at the same time, mid-sized companies don’t benefit from the scale. Scale in larger companies can bring lower marginal costs and access to markets and capital as their larger competitors. In addition, they don’t qualify for the tax breaks afforded to small business.
You can win against the competition through the powerful combination of agility and growth. And you can support and promote agility and growth through an effective, efficient cloud-based business management solution. Here are three ways a cloud-based deployment helps midsized enterprises fuel their growth:
