The New SMB Imperative
 Tough economic times bring investment decisions into sharp focus. The result is typically lower investment levels. It also sharpens medium and longer term priorities. That leads to smart investments.
 Value Shift
 SMBs are now looking beyond infrastructure investments as their respective countries slowly emerge from the global downturn
 Enablement v/s Empowerment
 SMBs are being driven towards empowerment technologies that are outside of normal technology adoption curve
 Empowerment Technologies
 SMBs in emerging market countries show greater intentions of investing in these new priorities than SMBs in mature markets 
 Implications for Channel Partners
 Shift to newer priorities is and will impact channels the most in next five years
 Conclusion
 New priorities bring to light new opportunities for vendors and channel partners to positively impact the success of SMBs on a global basis.
