Business & Personal Finance

As a small business person, you may often wonder: would any of the new technology that's out there make my company better? How do I find out? And once I've found out, how can I afford it?

You'll be glad to know that the Government of Canada officially launched the Digital Technology Adoption Pilot Program (DTAPP) on November 14th 2011. The program is meant to help Canadian businesses reach their full techological potential.

Through The National Research Council's Industrial Research Assistance Program (IRAP), the Digital Technology Adoption Pilot Program will:

• provide advice and guidance to small businesses on what types of digital technologies are best suited to their business objectives
• provide financial assistance to more than 600 firms to support the integration of the technology into their oerations after they made the decision to adopt a digital technology
• partner with colleges to support firms with digital technology adoption.

According to IRAP, "If your firm is incorporated, has 500 employees or less and is currently seeking opportunities to adopt digital technology with a goal of increasing your firm’s productivity, you could be eligible to receive assistance from NRC-IRAP through our DTAPP team".
