Risks and Countermeasures of Informatization Construction for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises

With the advent of the information age, the survival and competition environment of small and medium-sized enterprises have undergone fundamental changes. For small and medium-sized enterprises, informatization plays an important role in enterprise operation, both as a strategic and tactical means. According to China's current national conditions, more than 20 million of small and medium-sized enterprises have certain universal characteristics: the capital is not very strong, the management is not very perfect, and the information base is generally poor, facing extremely fierce market competition.

These characteristics determine that the informatization of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises in China should go out of a "low cost, low risk, high efficiency" Road. Informatization can help SMEs form competitive advantages and gradually improve enterprise management. Similarly, small and medium-sized enterprises are growing and developing organisms, and their anti-risk capabilities are not high. Therefore, for small and medium-sized enterprises, the path of high-risk informatization is absolutely unable to go through and cannot be implemented through drastic organizational changes. Why are there risks in the informatization of small and medium-sized enterprises? Where is the root cause?

The survey shows that the information-based solutions and services cannot meet the management needs of small and medium-sized enterprises, or they cannot meet the needs of small and medium-sized enterprises to continuously adapt to management changes, it is the root cause of risks that cannot bring real benefits to SMEs. Therefore, the fundamental way to reduce the informatization risks of SMEs lies in the flexible implementation of solutions and services. That is to say, the solution can meet the needs of managers and flexibly adapt to management changes. However, for various reasons, the common products and services on the market are not very suitable for the current situation of small and medium enterprises, and cannot meet the actual needs of small and medium enterprises.

For small and medium-sized enterprises in China, the road to e-commerce and informatization is just getting started, and it is still a long journey. Small and medium-sized enterprises reduce blind investment in e-commerce construction, avoid risks, return to rationality, pay attention to benefits, and maximize the input-output ratio. The domestic e-commerce market is becoming increasingly mature. The market for providing "Fit-and-fit" Internet and information services for small and medium-sized enterprises has shown great vitality, the development trend shows great potential and rapid growth.

So what kind of path should we take for the informatization of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises in China?

Experts believe that the following measures can be taken to avoid risks:

· Low Risk-there cannot be too many worries during implementation and use;

· Benefits and high input-output ratio-after implementation of informatization, it can bring tangible help to the production, management and sales of small and medium-sized enterprises;

· Close to management-informatization is the use of it for management and organizational transformation. However, for managers of small and medium-sized enterprises, informatization must first be close to daily management, so there is no threshold for being too high and too reliant on technology;

· Sustainable change (low cost)-transforming small and medium-sized enterprises with information technology is a continuous process. Therefore, it is necessary to continuously adjust and upgrade solutions and services, and the cost cannot be too high.
