During the workshop Shohaib Shafiq from Integrity Accountancy Services will talk about how businesses can use these changes as an opportunity to improve the internal systems cost effectively and increase their profitability. Shohaib will help you to understand what is available to companies now, and how digital accounting systems can make record keeping easier and really empower the business owner with real time management information at their fingertips.

Discover how your business can take the first steps into digital and make the most of what is on offer. At this event Michelle will show how, with just a little bit of investigation, a host of new opportunities can be realised.

How digital has changed the world and how it will change your business 14:00 – 14:30

The Do It Digital Roadshow is coming to Birmingham! Join Dave from Handle on the bus for a free, informative workshop on how digital is changing the world and your small business:

“90% of the world’s data was created in the last 2 years.

As massive data companies and analytics platforms start to make the data that exists about every single one of us useable, the impact it’s having is profound.

The digital revolution is here and the information that exists about you and your business is being used by the people most important to you. Your customers, prospects, suppliers, lenders and financiers are all using information to make decisions about you and your business.

In this session, we explore what the new digital era means for your business, how you can focus on what actually matters and confidently adjust your approach and adapt your business for digital success.”

Venue: Innovation Birmingham Campus, Holt Street, Birmingham, B7 4BB
