Jethro Systems Consulting is seeking to corporate participants to complete a short 10 questions survey on the Small Business Enterprises’ Presence on the Internet.

This survey comes as a follow-up Situation Analysis to the prior reports on SMEs’ presence on the web. The aim of this survey is really to find out in greater details the issues faced by SMEs. Especially now when there is an abundance of website builder tools and graphics design firms who can design a ‘mean’ website for any corporate business.

At the end of the survey, they will compile a detailed report on Small Business Enterprises’ Presence on the Internet and release it under a General Public License (GPL). They hope this report will help provide local business communities with useful insights and suggestions on the ways to help its own local business get online.
