Introduction

Modern technologies are designed to save businesses time and money by reducing manual work and automating everyday tasks. Cloud computing and artificial intelligence (AI) are built into platforms that automate routine, everyday processes. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that do not use automation risk slower workflows and less efficient use of their teams’ time.

What is Automation?

Automation is the use of technology to perform tasks or processes with minimal human intervention. By relying on programmed rules, machines, or software, automation reduces manual effort, speeds up workflows, minimises human error, and frees people to focus on higher-level, creative work.

Automation and productivity platforms have a direct link to improved business performance. For SMEs, the onus is on choosing the right platform for your business. A platform most SMEs should be looking to use is Notion.

What is Notion?

Notion is an all-in-one productivity and collaboration software that combines note-taking, document editing, data management, and project tracking into a single customisable workspace.

What does Notion Offer SMEs?

FAQs

Notion follows its standard data protection practices to keep your data encrypted and private. Notion AI will not use your data to train our models unless you opt in to a request to share your data.

Notion accepts all major credit and debit card brands.

Upgrading your plan: Your account will be upgraded and charged immediately. The amount due will be reduced based on the percentage of the billing cycle left at the time the plan was changed.

Downgrading your plan: Your account will be downgraded at the end of your billing cycle.

If you’re using a Free Plan workspace by yourself, you’ll be able to add as many pages and blocks as you like. If you’re using a Free Plan workspace with multiple members, you’ll be able to add a limited number of blocks before you have to upgrade.

When you reach the limit, you can still read, edit, and organise existing content blocks as usual, but you won’t be able to add new content blocks.
