A recent research brief from the SMB Group highlighted some very interesting survey results. According the SMB Group's 2010 Small and Medium Business Routes to Market Survey, 75 percent of survey respondents were more optimistic about the overall economy in 2010. To add to his optimism the survey found that small and medium businesses would be spending more on technology to help with their recovery. The survey found that more than half of small businesses, and more than 60 percent of medium businesses say that they plan to spend from 1 percent to 20 percent more on technology solutions and services.

The small business community has been shoring up customer satisfaction and this will continue but in addition, the investment in technology will be including infrastructure and collaboration, and business analytics. When survey respondents were asked about ERP applications, 31 percent of medium and 23 percent of small businesses indicated that this was something they are considering.
