Zebra Technologies has announced the results of its second annual “Intelligent Enterprise Index” revealing that the number of truly intelligent businesses has doubled since 2017.

The index is a global survey that measures where companies are on the journey to becoming an “intelligent enterprise” that connects the physical and digital worlds to drive innovation through real-time guidance, data-powered environments and collaborative mobile workflows.

Businesses that score more than 75 points on the overall Index can be described as intelligent enterprises and according to Zebra Technologies that number of companies meet its requirements doubled to 10 per cent in 2018.

Overall, the Index revealed year-over-year growth of IoT deployment and investment showing that enterprises expect less resistance to adoption and increasingly acknowledge IoT solutions as a core component for driving future growth across their organisations.
