Covid-19 impact: digitisation moves up the agenda for businesses
This report is available to those subscribed to the IoT & Enterprise module.
The acceleration of Covid-19 from a virus localised in China to a global pandemic has been exceptionally rapid. Reported cases have now surpassed 1 million, driven by community transmission that has shifted west to Europe and now the US. The effects on national healthcare systems, economic activity and day-to-day living have been profound.
Virtually all sectors of the economy have been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, with businesses reshaping the way they run their operations and interact with the rest of the economy. In recognition of the impact the crisis is having, our latest series of Insight Spotlights examines the implications of Covid 19 across the telecoms, media and technology sector.
In this Spotlight, we focus on the impact of Covid-19 on IoT and wider ICT spend among enterprises, highlighting the implications for operators and ICT vendors.
