The paper presents the use of modem technology and information technology by small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Olsztyn. The analysis was based on data obtained from the CSO and surveys conducted in 2009 by the computer-assisted telephone interviews (CATI). Results of analysis showed that the test group of companies does not build a significant competitive advantage in the economy based on modern information technology. The surveyed companies used the Internet mostly as a tool for structuring the banking and finance operations. In addition, it served in a minor extent as resources in the creation of protected knowledge. Few entrepreneurs have used the Internet to monitor the market situation and to collect data on competition or partnership building. Over half of the companies had website, but it served primarily as a tool for presentation of the company's offer. A few companies used the website to place orders, or as a tool in recruiting staff. Prevailing part of SME companies did not use the e-government service. (original abstract)
