Mid-sized companies generally have a dedicated technical staff but have different problems. Finding and keeping competent technical employees is one of the greatest challenges facing many companies today. These organizations realized how technology could help them grow long ago, but are now hampered by their inability to attract and keep technical talent. This leads to stagnation and project deadlines not being met. The reason for the vast difference in these business models is simple.
Money drives everything.
Huge corporations have lots of working capital and wisely plan for and invest it in technology. They do so because they know that the more technology they have, the more productive their staffs are. Major corporations have gotten their investment back tenfold and continue to spend even more on technology as time goes on. The typical Long Island business generally doesn't have the luxury of strong working capital ratios. Usually, the President is also the majority or sole shareholder, so every penny is coming directly out of his or her pocket.
