DIATEC Best Practice in Business Process Reengineering (BPR) in Australian Small to Medium Enterprises (SMEs) INTRODUCTION The DIATEC Tool is designed to help assess the current technological situation of an SME and their ability to adopt new technologies. The tool consists of four sections; Technological Resources, Technological Situation, Innovation Capability, and Openness and Cooperation, with a score rating for each section that benchmarks the SME with world's best practice. The two sections on Technological Resources and Technological Situation focuses on the current capabilities of an SME regarding the use of technology. The two sections on Innovation Capability and Openness and Cooperation are future oriented and highlight the areas of an SME that can either restrict or provide a solid foundation for future technological uptake. The four sections provide a holistic view of an SME regarding the use and adoption of technology, with the feedback useful for highlighting areas of improvement and areas of competitive advantage.
