The Shift is Already Happening
In 2025, small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) are no longer asking if they should adopt AI and cloud technology — they’re asking how fast. From marketing to customer service, AI tools are becoming critical for staying competitive.

Where AI Fits In
AI-powered solutions can automate repetitive tasks, analyze customer data for better decision-making, and even assist in product development. Imagine:

  • Automating responses to common customer questions.
  • Predicting inventory needs based on sales patterns.
  • Drafting first versions of marketing materials.

The Cloud Advantage
Cloud platforms like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace allow SMBs to scale their operations without major upfront costs. Plus, they enable teams to work from anywhere — a flexibility that’s now a business necessity.

How TrueNorth Helps
Through partners like Pax8 and Sherweb, we provide licenses for these platforms at a significantly more affordable rate than traditional providers by significantly reducing the marked up pricing you would pay going through other suppliers — without sacrificing support or features.

Bottom Line
Adopting AI and cloud tools isn’t just about tech. It’s about growth, efficiency, and keeping pace with your competition.
