UK and China are Making Big Moves for Tech Growth
Hi there! 👋This week, we’re looking at some global developments, from China to the UK, and how they might impact your company. We’ll also cover how you can use outsourcing to help you mitigate issues and gain a competitive edge.
If you want to know more about the differences between in-house development and outsourcing, make sure that you check out this comprehensive article so you can figure out what would be the best fit for your company.
Let’s take a look at some global highlights!👇
Since DeepSeek came out, we’ve been watching the Chinese AI market closely. Most of the models, even those coming out of massive companies like Alibaba, Tencent, and Baidu, have been open-source.
But we’d be crazy to think this is going to carry on forever! Why would anyone keep giving away their biggest resources for their competitors to use? And then there are other problems like revenue loss, regulatory restrictions, and more!
Unless you’re working in China, why should you care?
When these massive companies make changes, everyone suffers, especially the little guy. If you’re using their services to grow your tech product or platform, you need to make sure you protect yourself.
But doing that doesn’t mean you need to pull your tech stack apart or stretch your already busy developers even thinner. Instead, you could outsource everything from the basic evaluation to preparing for easy integration later, even helping you build your own AI and machine learning models.
The Intuit Small Business Growth Council has been created in the UK! The aim is to promote AI and digital adoption among SMEs, connecting these businesses and allowing them to thrive!
Even though digital tools can greatly benefit a variety of companies, many still don’t use them. In this day and age, where everyone seems to be making use of AI and other innovations, falling behind for even a moment could be enough to end a small business.
The kicker is that while governments and organizations all over the world are laying out the groundwork through these initiatives, you still need to take advantage of them. But it isn’t always that simple, especially if you are already behind.
In these cases, having a partner that you trust is essential. Experts can help you set up your business to use the tools available and help you catch up on any tech debt that you might not even be aware of.
If you don’t know what to look for in that partner, you can consult with an experienced firm that will be able to determine the skillset you need and find the right developer for you.
