Today, they work with more than 10 million small and medium businesses worldwide, which gives them an unrivalled insight into the needs of small businesses and the ways in which they can help them grow and thrive in today's challenging economy.
Aside from being at the conference to talk about how IT can increase productivity and reduce costs, they'll also be discussing how businesses can use social media to drive growth.
