The primary business of small business owners is business not technology.

We believe Small Business + will quickly become a valuable resource to our community of small-business customers. We are committed to helping small businesses build connections to quickly and easily identify resources and technology partners that can support them. Resources such as Small Business +, Small Business Center and the Small Business Specialist Community are evidence of this work.

Creating a single capability that fuses business and process insight with information technology provides the unique advantage our clients are reaching out for. This is an exceptionally good fit -- both strategically and culturally. Our businesses complement each other and we speak the same language.

I had always had an interest in electronics and technology, so I picked a business that involved something that I liked doing and enjoyed.

We know small businesses struggle with cash flow and tend to live month-to-month.

This is the first time we've done anything of this kind. We're opening up a dialogue really about how we can work together.
