Software Innovation: How can it improve your business? - by Digital Innovation for Growth
Description changed:
In today’s software enabled world, SMEs have commonly implemented their own home-grown digital solutions, often acting as their proof-of-concepts for new business ideas or to support their business operations. As companies grow, new requirements become more relevant, such as having a software system that can deal with a business’s growing number of clients, or having the opportunity to increase business performance by better use of digital technologies.
Sheffield Hallam's Applied Software Engineering Research Group (ASERG) has more than 20 years of experience in the ICT industry and offers a range of consultancy services. Through the Digital Innovation for Growth (DIfG) programme, ASERG can provide SMEs within the Sheffield City Region with free, informed academic research and knowledge to help enhance their business.

With the rise of AI and robots in the workplace and increased fear of roles being completed by robots rather than humans, we ask - is it a bad thing if there is no work for humans in the future?
With view points from both sides of the argument, you'll get a rounded view of the current situation and what looks likely in the future, as well as the pros and cons of automation on the jobs market and wider society. You'll also get the opportunity to ask questions in a panel discussion around the topic.
Join the Digital Media Centre for a lively debate about the future of work and jobs, and the future of us.
