Small Medium Enterprise
Mission
The mission of the SME SIG is to provide an organisation within which members are enabled to develop their knowledge, understanding and expertise in Small Business Management and grow their own businesses. Many ACS members have grown from being individual employees and contractors to the point where they are now running their own business and employing others. This puts them in the situation where they must manage a business in a professional manner, meet all the various State and Federal Govt business regulations and keep finding enough work to keep their business afloat. The mission of the SME SIG is to present ways and means of meeting these needs.
What we do
- Provide IT professionals with a networking forum to discuss business management issues.
- Present expert guest speakers on project management topics through meetings, seminars, workshops and talks conducted by the SME-SIG.
- Maintain a repository of resources eg web sites, library and network contact list to enable members to gain access to sources of information, expertise, products and resources which will allow them to enhance their competencies.

The outputs from the SME-SIG will include:
- Regular group meetings
- Workshops, seminars and forums
- An informal network of contacts amongst members
- Links with other organisations involved in the same or related fields of endeavours
