Welcome

BT Business Experience was one of the biggest business events of 2009. Attended by entrepreneurs from all around the UK, some of the most innovative technological solutions to help manage business costs, improve market strategies and become more competitive were on display.

I joined other members of the BusinessZone.co.uk team at the event to gather content for this special microsite. On it, you'll find a mixture of BT resources as well as interviews, articles and videos exclusive to BusinessZone.co.uk.

Among the highlights are a video interview with BT Business managing director Bill Murphy who offers advice on how flexible working practices can boost businesses of all sizes. I also sat in on an intimate Q&A session featuring Dragons' Den investor Peter Jones who shared his words of wisdom. To find out what he had to say, click here.

In addition, BusinessZone.co.uk technology correspondent Jon Wilcox delved into the many innovative technology products on show including next generation broadband and solutions to help you run your business on the move. Also, with Cloud Computing the buzz word of the moment, Jon looks at how small companies can benefit from software on demand.

Finally, Verity Gough caught up with BT Business' strategy and commercial director Mick Hegarty to discuss Essence of the Entrepreneur, a competition offering you the chance to be photographed by celebrity photographer Rankin and win £10,000 for your business.

I hope you find the content useful and, as ever, if you've got any comments, please do get in touch.
