If your company is trying to navigate one or more challenges in your business, then have you considered hiring an SME expert (subject matter expert)? SMEs are commonly hired by IT businesses, as well as those in software development, marketing and customer support. In fact, they can work in any area where their expertise is required.

Other areas where these experts are highly relevant include health, IT, architecture, construction, law and engineering. These professionals are experts with a deep understanding in a specific area of interest, process, job, department, function, machine or item of equipment. Their unique insight can be leveraged to solve specific problems or challenges. 

SO an SME expert is often hired to fix software bugs, offer a different design approach or apply a new technology to an existing problem. They can also help develop specific training programs and are vital in helping navigate challenges when a general level of knowledge and proficiency is insufficient to offer a solution. They are an authority in their area of expertise.
