Small Business Week

Small business seems to the flavour of the moment - or maybe vendors are finally waking up to the fact that 4 million+ potential customers represent a major opportunity in the current climate. I can't imagine that the banking sector is going to continue to be the cash cow that vendors have milked in previous years!

BT have joined forces with NatWest and Every Woman(?) to promote Small Business Week 2008 starting 13th October - BT promoting their 'one stop' solution for IT and communications needs!

So with several different vendors jumping on the small business bandwagon - who do you reckon is best at meeting the needs of small business? and how does IT compare to other sectors? I hear NatWest mentioned frequently in conversations about small business customer service - has their local branch strategy paid off?

How about a Hall of Fame for small business suppliers?
