ITAC creates eTeam to encourage SMEs to adopt technology

摘要

The information technology Association of Canada (ITAC) has organized a group of companies to come up with ways of bolstering technology adoption rates among Canadian small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to help strengthen Canada's global competitiveness. The "eTeam" has been given a one-year mandate to meet as often as it needs to and create sub-groups to identify how it can tackle low adoption rates. At the end of the year, the eTeam will report to ITAC and Industry Canada, also a supporter, on its findings. "In the case of e-business and the e-economy everybody knows and expects Canada to be a world leader," said Bernard Courtois, president of ITAC. "However, there are pockets of places where we can really benefit from doing better."
