Do you know that Technology gets outdated very frequently in this fast pace world? According to the recent statistics,
- 68% of consumers think the use of modern technology is critical to the success of a business.
- 57% of consumers agree that small businesses that use modern technology are more competitive in the marketplace.
So, the obvious question is: Why PMI Atlanta Chapter, the 3rd largest in US, should NOT move ahead to get into the latest and greatest Technology to benefit our Chapter Members and Sponsors, right? That’s why TTT – The Technology Team has put the Think Tanker hat on since the beginning of the year. We understand the current pain points of the Chapter Members, Sponsors and Leadership team, including the Board, to bring a new resolution.Thanks to our Leadership Teams and the Board for providing their help and support in order to make a difference to our Chapter to benefit our Members at large.
