A Total Focus on IT for Small and Medium Business<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/h2>\n

There are other associations for IT professionals. We\u2019re the only one just for those who specialise in small and medium business customers.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Providing technology services to SMBs has its unique challenges. Our members understand your business because they are SMBs too.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Why Have an Industry Association Exclusively for IT Pros Who Specialise in Small and Medium Business Customers? <\/h2>\n

On face value, providing IT services to small and medium businesses might sound like an easy ride. People believe that IT at the enterprise and <\/span>startup<\/span> level tends to be more complicated, specialised and bleeding edge, right?<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Well, it\u2019s one thing to deal with a systems administrator or CTO. It\u2019s another thing entirely to serve <\/span><\/span>clients<\/span><\/span> whose expertise is in retail, dentistry, construction, law or anywhere but computers.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not just that they need help. They\u2019re often not sure what it is they need help with.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Making this work is a matter of good communication, well-designed structures and hard graft. It\u2019s a unique challenge.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s why we\u2019re here. No other industry association in Australia focuses just on this work.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019re a Mem<\/span>bership Or<\/span>ganisation<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

SMBiT<\/span> Professionals is a not-for-profit Association. Our members are at the heart of everything we do. The Association is headed up by <\/span><\/span><\/span>a board of directors, who are all members<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Our chapter meetings and our national conference are largely led by members too.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In between these real-world get togethers, discussions continue online in our members-only community hub.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And thanks to our strength in numbers, we\u2019re able to secure special offers and pricing for our members too.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

We<\/span>\u2019re Here for Vendors Too<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

SMBiT<\/span> Professionals also has space for businesses who support and supply our members.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Our Sponsors are so much more than a revenue stream.  <\/span><\/span>They contribute valuable business and technical know-how, enriching our conversations and ensuring our members have access to the latest industry information.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Ultimately, it\u2019s All Ab<\/span>out Customers<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

The entire reason our industry exists is to make IT work for businesses.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Nobody wants to get stung by cowboys and fly-by-<\/span>nighters<\/span>. We protect them with the <\/span>SMBiT<\/span> Professionals code of conduct.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This is a set of standards of professionalism, diligence and integrity that all our members agree to; they\u2019re accountable to them too. This is security and peace of mind so you can focus on the rest of your business.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

We help our members better serve their customers.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

We cover the latest trends in business and technology. We pivot from experts in IT work, to trusted advisors who use IT to solve business problems.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n
