Editor's note

Small and medium size businesses (SMBs) have unique challenges compared with large enterprises. They have limited budgets and lack in-house IT expertise. CNETAsia recognizes their challenges and aims to help our SMB readers make well-informed IT purchase decisions. We will provide relevant content to help SMBs that are currently not making much use of IT in their operations, make better use of the latest technologies to improve their business competitiveness.

SMB readers can look forward to case studies, technology features and buying tips. We've also formed an SMB Advisory Board consisting of 10 business heads and technology consultants. CNETAsia editors will continuously seek advice and guidance from this SMB Advisory Board to ensure our editorial is in tune to the needs of our readers.

If you would like to learn more about a particular technology, or just keen to share a view, please write to us. And if you would like to be part of CNETAsia's SMB community (get invited to roundtables, seminars and networking sessions), do drop us an e-mail. Extend your business circle and help us make CNETAsia SMB IT Essentials your vital business IT information resource.
