Only a third of the sample, on the other hand, believe that there are more difficulties than benefits.<\/p>\n<p>Suffice it to say that small and medium-sized businesses that have adopted digital technologies show faster growth than those that have not. In fact, more than 39% of SMEs worldwide agree that &#8220;<strong>active participation in the digital economy is critical to the survival of the company in the next 3-5 years&#8221;.<\/strong> This was announced in a study promoted by <a href=\"http:\/\/go.sap.com\/index.html\">SAP<\/a> and carried out by <a href=\"http:\/\/idcitalia.com\/ita\/\">IDC<\/a> , which shows that companies that have recorded a 10% increase in turnover in the last year have confirmed that they <strong>have &#8220;adopted innovative technologies to connect people, devices and the network of customers and partners<\/strong>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<p>What about <strong>cloud computing<\/strong>?
