Practice narratives of web information architecture (IA) in small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are investigated. Although web-based information delivery is ubiquitous, research and practice remains focused on larger organisations. This research attends to SMEs, revealing that the dominant voice in practice belongs to the communications and marketing practitioner, not the information professional.Sont investiguées les pratiques d'architecture de l'information Web dans les petites et moyennes entreprises (PME). Même si la prestation de services d'information sur le Web est omniprésente, la recherche et les pratiques demeurent centrées sur les grandes entreprises. Cette étude cible les PME, révélant ainsi que la voix dominante dans la pratique appartient aux praticiens des communications et du marketing et non aux professionnels de l'information.

Yoga Farm is a Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME) that focuses on catfish breeding that is still doing business processes manually. With this process, information received by related parties is very difficult to obtain quickly. Therefore, the product is still not widely known, and customers are still few because the system used in sales and promotions still uses a manual system. The research method used is qualitative. This study aims to create a sales information system recommended at Yoga Farm and design using Unified modeling language (UML) for the recommended business processes. Customers will get product information in real-time, products can be widely recognized, and the number of Yoga Farm customers can increase. Based on the results of this study, adoption of a web-based sales information system can certainly make it easier to get the latest information quickly, can expand the market and can also facilitate customers in the transaction. For future research, this research can be used as a reference for conducting similar studies at other MSMEs to increase sales

A Web-node has been created in order to address the specific needs of the small and medium enterprises (SMEs) of three important economic areas in the Mediterranean region, the food, textile and hotel sectors. The node provides important information on the market structure in the relevant sectors, environmental technology issues and legislation, as well as Diagnostic Tools allowing the selfevaluation and benchmarking of SME's environmental performance. Environmental performance is evaluated on the basis of the business operational data. A limited set of environmental indicators is being calculated, and performance is compared to that of its business competitors, as well as to international standards and "Best Available Techniques". The diagnosis procedure identifies potential environmental problems in the daily operation of the companies. The system suggests actions of minor and/or greater cost which could improve environmental performance and calculates the potential benefit from the decrease of the operational cost. The overall objective is to assist SMEs in increasing their competitiveness and thereby their position in the market.

This research aims to determine the development of Industrial Revolution 4.0 technology in the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) sector, to improve the standard of quality business product brands by creating a web-based information system. To support this research, we used qualitative descriptive research methods to describe existing phenomena, both natural and human engineering, that pay more attention to the characteristics, quality, and interrelationships between activities. The results show that product brand development for web-based small and medium enterprises is compelling so that it will be able to compete with other business product brands globally. This is due to a web-based information system created to introduce various products, the owners of MSMEs products. The information system was designed to input the MSME owners' data, starting from product brands, catalogs, and services. Therefore, the information system can help marketing and improve the owners' ability in the product brand development that can be used to compete in the global market. That way, the society can access various information about superior products from the MSME owners who have a product quality is no less good than other excellent products.

A web-based Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) supporting system is integrated with a Product Data Management (PDM) system for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) suffering from the lack of building hardware, software and related experts. An analysis of current business models and worksite requirements provides an improved process model and data to be shared between the PDM system and the CAE supporting system. Since all engineering tasks such as geometric modeling, mesh generation, static stress and vibration analysis, and fatigue durability analysis are automated in the CAE supporting system, the user in charge of the CAE have only to configure the concerned values of design variables and result data through the web page. The existing Change Management module of the PDM system is modified for seamless data exchange, i.e. sending the Engineering Change Order (ECO) data to the CAE supporting system and receiving the CAE result data back. The bi-directional data transfers between the PDM system and the CAE supporting system is made possible by adaptors based on the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP). The current approach will be very helpful for SMEs that only have the PDM system and have no adequate infrastructure for CAE.
