Two-thirds of IDC Manufacturing Survey’s European respondents still considered themselves Digital Challengers. Hence, to become future-proof, the focus of manufacturing organizations should transform into what IDC calls Digital Champion.
Future-proofing manufacturing involves a combination of technological innovation, strategic planning, and a commitment to adapt to rapidly changing market conditions. By embracing these strategies, manufacturers can ensure their long-term success and competitiveness in an ever-evolving global marketplace.
