Paper Abstract:
|
The relevance of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) is noticeable, particularly in developing countries such as
Colombia, because of their economic role as employment generators and income redistributors. Introducing Information
Technologies (IT) in SMEs is a hard process because they do not have enough resources to fund this process, abilities or
skills required for this process. In this paper we present a guide for the appropriation of IT in SMEs and its application at
LM Instruments (LMI), a Colombian SME. As a result, we show how LMI improved its back-order process and got a
better cash flow. |
