Calgary, Alberta, October 16,2024 - Begine Fusion announced an AI adoption initiative for Small Business Week 2024, addressing the growing technology divide faced by Canadian small businesses. This initiative comes as the International Data Corporation (IDC) projects global AI spending to hit $235 billion in 2024.
Recent studies show that while AI integration can increase productivity by 12%, speed up task completion by 25%, and improve quality by 40%, many small businesses with fewer than 100 employees remain hesitant to adopt AI technologies and are at risk of being left behind. Common barriers include costs, data privacy concerns, and lack of technical understanding.
The Challenge: Despite their importance to the Canadian economy, small businesses often face significant barriers when it comes to AI adoption.
5 Reasons Small Businesses Hesitate to Adopt AI:
- Cost: Business owners often cite cost as a primary barrier to AI adoption.
- Data Privacy & Security: Concerns over sensitive data exposure through AI tools.
- Lack of Understanding: A shortage of digital skills makes AI implementation seem daunting.
- Technology Selection: Difficulty in choosing the right AI or cloud tools.
- Integration Challenges: Legacy systems and complex technology stacks make it hard to integrate AI solutions.
The program includes:
- In partnership with Capsule CRM and MindStudio, Begine Fusion will host two free webinars on October 21, 2024: How to Leverage AI and Automation for Business Growth and October 23, 2024: From Spreadsheets to Success: Simplifying Customer Relationship Management for Small Businesses
