The Small Business
Tech Summit 2022

This session explores the different ways technology can take the strain when it comes to daily operations, organisation and planning.

The message here is that, by investing in simple to implement tech, you will not only create efficiencies that save money, but free yourself up to do what you do best.

This session will explore some of the ways it does that – from helping firms measure and reduce their carbon footprint, to smart tech driving efficiency and reducing energy usage, and e-signatures reducing firms’ carbon footprints. What’s more, Dell Technologies’ solutions are often more recyclable and eco-friendly than you would think.
