W&F December 2017

www.wealthandfinance-news.com 14 Wealth & Finance International - December 2017 With the unparalleled operational visibility Zebra provides, enterprises become as smart and connected as the world people live in today. Real- time information, gleaned from visionary solutions including hardware, software and services, give organisations the competitive edge they need to simplify operations, know more about their businesses and customers and empower their mobile workers to succeed in today’s data-centric world. Operational efficiency, agility and the ability to make real-time, data-driven decisions are critical to success in today’s multi-touchpoint, multichannel, always-on, hypercompetitive markets. The only way businesses can continue to grow is to be ready to leverage the disruptive forces at play. How? It is one thing to undertake projects with a fixed goal and end date in mind. But how does innovation happen on an ongoing basis? Aiming to innovate in the best way possible, companies need to take full advantage of the convergence of the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud and mobility to use these technologies as catalysts to deliver real-time visibility into their operations. They can adopt a more flexible business model leveraging rapid, iterative improvement to workflow processes, known as dynamic workflow. This comes from recognising that there is no final end- state, but rather a series of ongoing improvements in their operations. By emphasising smaller, more agile advances, enterprises can take advantage of their current market position while making smart, but aggressive, investments in their future. Essentially, in the world today, everyone is connected and technology now underpins every business transaction. As a result, business leaders in all sectors can tap into massive data sets and unlock untold insights. Already many manufacturing operations are running more efficiently than ever before thanks to the installation of smart machinery and sensors on connected factory floors. Healthcare providers now leverage patient identification solutions to tie lab results to patients and track the administration of medication. Also, retailers are using in-store Wi-Fi to trace their customers’ movements and capture dwell times. As the market leader in rugged mobile computers, barcode scanners and barcode printers enhanced with software and services to enable real-time enterprise visibility, Zebra Technologies is pleased to be awarded as the Most Innovative Solution Provider of the Year 2017.
