The other part of it is maximizing their productivity with some of the great tools that are out there,” said SurePayroll General Manager Andy Roe. “Our favorite tech tools list is really a reflection of how small business owners are becoming more efficient, while using less resources and spending less cash. Technology has enabled that capability.”
