The report finds that many digital transformation-related technologies are still in their nascent stages but will have a profound impact across the following verticals in the next three years, and OEMs will be critical in helping VSPs take advantage of these advancements in line with the below findings:
Healthcare
- Payers will have saved $1 billion globally through implementation of robotic process automation tools, skill sets and process reengineering by the end of 2018
- 60% of healthcare applications will collect real-time location data and clinical IoT device data by 2019
- There will be a 50% increase in the use of robots in medications, supplies, and food delivery in hospitals by 2019
Manufacturing
- 75% of large manufacturers will update their operations with IoT and analytics-based situational awareness by 2019
- 60% of plant workers at G2000 manufactures will work alongside robots, 3D printing, AI and AR/VR by 2020
- 50% of manufacturing supply chains will have an in-house or outsourced capability for direct-to-consumption shipments and home delivery by 2020
Telecommunications
- 90% of enterprises will leverage communications service provider ‘cloud connect’ services to access multiple public cloud capabilities by 2018
- More than 65% of enterprise UC&C implementations will be cloud-based UC as a Service by 2018
