Information Week writes about how “some small businesses are using an increasingly rich and surprisingly low-cost set of business-technology tools to survive and compete–tools that in the past were often available only to far-larger businesses.”

They’re geared to react to change and use the Internet, collaborative software, business intelligence, and cheap broadband communications. Most of all, they understand the Web and how it changes the rules of the game.
