Solutions for SMEs

Empowering SMEs with Scalable Digital Solutions

Helping small and medium-sized enterprises grow, streamline operations, and improve resilience through intelligent technology

SME businesses are the backbone of the UK economy, agile, innovative, and customer-focused. But staying competitive in a fast-moving, digitally driven world isn’t easy. Many small businesses find themselves spinning plates: juggling outdated systems, mounting admin tasks, cybersecurity concerns, and limited time to plan for the future.

So, how do you keep moving forward without burning out your team or overextending your resources?

At CPS, we help SMEs unlock the power of Microsoft’s ecosystem, without the complexity. From simplifying collaboration to automating routine tasks, our solutions are built to make your business stronger, faster, and smarter, no matter your size or sector.

SME

SME Challenges We Commonly See:

  • Time lost to manual processes and duplication – Small teams can’t afford inefficiencies that slow productivity
  • Scaling is tough without costly infrastructure – Growth shouldn’t come with tech headaches or rising spend
  • Limited IT support leaves security exposed – Even small businesses are prime targets for cyber threats
  • Keeping up with compliance is a challenge – Especially when regulations shift faster than you can react
  • Disconnected systems reduce data visibility – Making informed decisions becomes a constant struggle
  • Legacy software is costly and hard to connect – Outdated tools slow progress and block innovation
  • Outdated tools increase security exposure – Old systems are harder to protect and easier to breach
  • Disconnected data limits business insights – Gaining a clear view is difficult without integration
  • Economic pressures stall tech investment – Tight budgets make modernisation feel like a risk
  • Modernising must avoid cost and disruption – Change should be simple, scalable, and budget-friendly
