Data everywhere and nowhere? Why SMEs are struggling with this
Do you recognize this? You’re looking for a file, but it’s not where you thought. Or the numbers in your report don’t add up, and you can’t remember what the source was. For many SMBs, this is a daily reality. Data that is everywhere and nowhere is a great source of frustration as well as risk.

🔹 Customer information that is out of date
A recipe for misunderstandings and data breaches. Not in line with ISO 27001.
🔹 Making decisions on gut feeling
Without good data, you make choices without a solid foundation.
