A Dell Technologies survey revealed that Indian companies are ahead in terms of technology preparedness: 38 percent of firms in India have already achieved human-machine integration while countries such as Australia and Singapore expect to attain this sort of integration in the next two years. China believes it is likely to achieve this in the next two to five years, while Japan is not sure yet.
The survey was conducted among 3,800 global business leaders, including 300 Indian business leaders, across twelve sectors, in seventeen countries with the objective of ascertaining the impact of technology on society by 2030. Approximately 40% of those surveyed were IT leaders, and 60% were business leaders or heads of departments in companies that had more than 250 employees said Rajesh Janey, managing director and president, India Enterprise, Dell EMC.
“In India businesses are more mature than their global counterparts which was a surprise for us,” Janey told the Press Trust of India while sharing details of the survey.
He said that when companies were asked what challenges they face in implementing digital business, all countries except China feel that the most likely barrier is a lack of budget and resources, whereas China feels it is the lack of senior support and leadership.
