DIGITAL
TRANSFORMATION
LET’S GET DIGITAL
The integration of digital technologies into all areas of an
enterprise is fundamentally changing how organizations
operate and deliver value to their customers. It requires
flexibility and creativity in revisiting business models and
operational processes and the willingness to embrace
cultural change.
Digital Transformation is key for enterprises to enrich
their operations with innovative solutions that optimize
business practices, drive workforce engagement, and
create a competitive edge. It involves using technologies
like smart collaboration, cloud computing, Internet of
Things (IoT), data analytics, biometrics, and artificial
intelligence to make workflows more efficient, smooth,
rich, effective, and secure. With seamless and efficient
interaction being critical to organizations, instant
communications need to be an integral part of these
workflows.
EMPOWERING A
DATA-DRIVEN ENTERPRISE
The power of capturing, processing, and analyzing data
offers enterprises tremendous opportunity to digitally
transform every aspect of business, spanning how they
engage with customers, empower their employees,
optimize their operations, and design their products.
TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS. WHEREVER YOU ARE.5
As enterprises rely more and more on data, the reliability
of that data increasingly becomes crucial. To ensure the
integrity of their data, organizations will need to validate
it, manage processes to protect critical data, ensure it is
safely stored as well as swiftly retrievable.
AUTOMATED, COMPOSABLE
AND CONVERGED
The keys to operational excellence
Digital adoption and automation are key to operational
excellence and become indispensable for organizations
to survive. Hyper automation is the approach to identify
and automate as many tasks and business processes as
possible to support scalability, remote operation, and
resilient business. Technologies include data science and
machine learning platforms, Artificial Intelligence, and
robotic process automation.
Equipment, functions and processes becoming more
and more software driven, makes them programmable
to dynamically respond to changing requirements.
Composable Infrastructures enable IT departments
to provision workloads quickly and efficiently, while
Programmable Communications enable companies to
embed voice, messaging, video, and authentication
capabilities into business applications and workflows
via simple-to-use APIs.
Application convergence finally integrates multiple
applications into one system, storing data in one database
and presenting all through a single user interface.

UBIQUITOUS
CONNECTEDNESS
ANYWHERE OPERATIONS FOR
AN OMNIPRESENT WORKFORCE
Making staff omnipresent and ‘always on’ is key for
enterprises to operate efficiently and effectively in today’s
business environment. Organizations are capitalizing on
mobility solutions that enable employees to work from
just about anywhere, at any given time, whether on-site,
at home, between appointments, or while traveling.
Technology ensures they remain fully integrated with their
organizations, colleagues and customers, as well as with
their social networks.
Work/life balance is enriched by the power of the
smart-phone, serving both business and private
communications and making it the favorite tool - not
only for today’s workforce but across all generations and
across all nations.
MOBILE FIRST – THE DIGITAL
INNOVATION PLATFORM
Wireless has moved from a communications technology
to become a digital innovation platform with smartphones
and tablets the standard form factor for developing portals
and business apps.
Mobile technologies continue to drive innovation and new
services, extending communications, data, and business
applications to all mobile devices. Voice recognition and
activation are increasingly deployed because of their ease
of use, speed, and safety for people on the go.
LTE and 5G connectivity will transform laptops into ACPCs
(Always Connected PCs) to ensure the more processing
power consuming tasks can be performed anywhere on
the go. Embedded technology that senses and interacts
with their environment – such as in autonomous drones
and driverless vehicles – will all be facilitated by these
advances in wireless technologies.
MULTIPLE WIRELESS
TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION
Instead of basing a company’s mobile infrastructure on one
specific technology, the integration of multiple wireless
technologies will spread and provide a more cost-efficient,
and flexible foundation that reduces capital expenditure
and extends application areas.
5G and Wi-Fi 6/7 technology will drive factors in wireless
growth, bringing increased bandwidth and higher internet
speeds along with more reliable networks. It will change
the way we use the internet. Besides a further stimulus for
the growing need and demand for the use of video, it will
also open doors for complex applications that rely on
real-time access to Big Data conducted in the field and
new opportunities found in the Metaverse.

COLLABORATIVE WORKSPACE
HYBRID WORKING
IS HERE TO STAY
The pandemic has made companies abandon the 9-to-5
workplace and discover how flexible the workplace can be.
The traditional office is shrinking and working from home is
fully accepted. This is further spurred by the need for office
premises cost optimization driven by higher interest rates
and energy costs.
With hybrid work being the new normal workstyle, tools
that support a flexible, open and agile way of working, like
Unified Communications  Collaboration (UCC), are a
mandatory part of running a successful business. They are
not only more safe, convenient, and cost-effective, but
also much more productive.
DRIVING PRODUCTIVE
INTERACTION
Connected workspaces allow disparate teams to work
together in real time and enable individuals to interact
efficiently and effectively with colleagues, clients, and
suppliers, eliminating the need to travel.
TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS. WHEREVER YOU ARE.8
They are dynamic, flexible, and user-centric, and provide
easy access to tools such as click-to-call and conference
capabilities, file sharing, and digital white-boarding, driving
productivity and reducing latencies across organizations.
Hybrid working urges distributed enterprises to keep
remote workers engaged, motivated, and included in the
company culture. Using instant video conferencing for
daily check-ins strengthens the feeling of being part of the
office community and of being a valued member of a team
working to achieve the company’s goals.
Smart Workspaces embed all these capabilities within
business workflows to form an open and flexible workflow
platform with application integration that goes far beyond
communications.
BOOSTING OFFICE SPACE
EFFICIENCY  SAFETY
Smart enterprises adopt digital workplace strategies to
create environments that maximize not only the employee
productivity and well-being, but also the safety, efficiency
and resilience of organizations.
Workplace Management solutions facilitate the employee’s
journey and orchestrate a visitor’s stay through office
space optimization and workplace efficiency, automated
reservation and touchless check-in, fully automated and
secure visitor management and surveillance, sanitization
monitoring, and social distancing compliance.

DRIVING
ENGAGEMENT
ENHANCING THE TOTAL
USER EXPERIENCE
The battle among enterprises for tomorrow’s customers is
fought and won on customer experience. Companies are
pushing hard to deliver connected Customer Experiences
(CX) across media, channels, processes, and departments
– making contact easy and pleasant, lowering thresholds,
presenting options most relevant to the customer, and
ensuring swift response to queries.
Within an organization as well new formats are introduced
to enhance the Employee Experience (EX) for better
business outcomes. Applications and workflows become
user-centric instead of device-centric, tools become
intuitive, and interactions swift and simple.
REINVENTING ENGAGEMENT
MODELS
Smart enterprises reinvent their customer engagement
models to deliver customers a distinctive, personalized
experience and ensure a long-lasting relationship.
The power of social networking is driving organizations
to integrate social media into their business processes.
Realizing that CX includes every touchpoint a customer
has with an organization, makes collecting and logging
all customer data across all sources essential in order
to present a customer’s track record during e.g., a
conversation with an agent.
Workflows with access to contextual information provide
smarter employee experiences and productivity. The future
revolving around hybrid work, makes companies also look
for ways to fuel team engagement, with tools for creative
collaboration and instant video to bring context and depth
to interactions.
SMART PERSONALIZATION
One of the keys to customer engagement lies in closely
matching human behavior. This will more and more be
supported by applying predictive analytics to gathered
customer data and creating personality profiles that match
the personality of customers.
Smart personalization engines that recognize a customer’s
intent will enable digital businesses to flourish. Artificial
intelligence tools step in to build profiles of large customer
sets and allow computers to understand the true
interpretation of voice, including tone, sarcasm, pun, and
even deeper context clues like double meanings. They
measure behavioral cues, intentions, and emotions to
create accurate profiles that can be mapped to individual
customers and prospects.

THE RETURN OF COST CONSCIOUSNESS
COST REDUCTION AND
OPTIMIZATION WILL PLAY
A MORE PROMINENT ROLE
IN DECISION MAKING
THE RETURN OF
COST CONSCIOUSNESS
REVISITING THE
BALANCE SHEETS
Persistent inflation, geopolitical tensions, and fear of a
global recession make enterprises more cost conscious
and risk averse. While until recently businesses were
predominantly focused on post-pandemic growth, cost
reduction and optimization will play a more prominent
role in decision making in 2023.
Businesses face rapidly rising interest rates and price
increases around labor, materials and energy. All this slows
down investments and makes organizations revisit their
balance sheets to cut costs by optimizing out of pocket
spendings such as IT infrastructure and office space.
PAY PER USE
In the present financial tightening times with rising interest
rates and energy costs, companies seek models with
flexible cost attribution. Modular services, pay per use and
flexible deployment models allow businesses to invest
in just what is needed now, trimming up-front costs, and
leaving options open for future expansion or contraction.
Customers benefit from easier financial management
and predictable overall monthly costs. Deploying As a
Service model dramatically reduces Capex investments
in equipment, space and resources.
TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS. WHEREVER YOU ARE.11
While early adopters of cloud solutions embraced the
innovation, organizational agility, and the new business
opportunities brought by the cloud, enterprises now
appreciate the cost-effectiveness and scalability of their
solutions rather than just the technological merits. The
fully integrated platform includes all collaboration and
communications needs at one predictable, monthly, per
user fee and based on month-to-month contracts with the
flexibility to add or remove users at any time.
ENABLING A
SMART TRANSITION
Organizations are nowadays overwhelmed with an
increasingly large number of IT and communications
solutions. Smart enterprises seek vendors that provide
them with full choice of integrating new solutions, such
as those based on flexible Opex subscription-based cost
attribution models, while simultaneously maintaining
existing platforms to the maximum of their lifecycles. Such
a non-disruptive path of smart transition offers businesses
a cost-effective path to modernize their communications
while retaining their existing investments.

CLOUD CENTRIC
OPTIMIZATION
RAPID APPLICATION
DELIVERY  INNOVATION
Cloud computing has revolutionized IT and software
delivery. Applications running in the cloud make it
incredibly easy for users to signup, access, and draw on
solutions available on demand and within minutes.
Cloud-based deployments consequently adopt new
functionality much faster and more easily than their
on-premises counterparts, with new applications driving
rapid innovation.
The rise of industry specific modular components allows
businesses to build differentiated offerings without having
to fully develop the underlying technology. Organizations
in healthcare, hospitality, manufacturing, and finance will
increasingly adopt vertical-market clouds optimized for
their sector, including industry-specific data sets.
DRIVING COST OPTIMIZATION
Moving IT  Communications provisioning to cloud
platforms – be it in a public, on-premises, or hybrid
model – helps organizations increase revenue and
customer experience as well as reduce risks and costs.
Cloud solutions not only shift expenditure from capital
investments to operational expenses, creating more
flexibility and scalability to add or remove users or
functionality as required. Drawing from the cloud also
reduces the risks of being tied to a certain investment for
the long term and furthermore means less administration,
shorter introduction and deployment lead times, and
less dependence on scarce and expensive in-house
IT resources.
FREEDOM OF CHOICE
The trend towards hybrid and multi-cloud models
continues. While enterprises shift more workloads to the
public cloud, other tasks are preferably located at the edge
or on-premises, either for more control and security, or
for lower latency.
A strong demand remains to leverage existing
infrastructures with incremental applications that are
compatible and easy to adopt. Smart enterprises will seek
vendors that provide the full range of communications
and collaboration solutions while offering the freedom
of choice to choose between a fully on-premises
infrastructure, a 100% public cloud subscription-based
solution or a hybrid model.
Providing even more flexibility and a smooth evolution is
the capability to add cloud-based solutions to existing on-
premises systems, preserving investments and extending
functionality with integrated video conferencing, chat, file
sharing/backup, smart workspace management and more.

THE DATA-DRIVEN ENTERPRISE
THE AGE OF DATA DEPENDENCE
The power of capturing, processing, and analyzing data
offers tremendous opportunities to drive better business
intelligence, product development, and customer service.
The ubiquity of IT systems and our dependence on them
make cyber security a key topic and cybercrime potentially
a more significant risk to society than terrorism.
Organizations can be exposed to digital threats in various
ways and need to capitalize on all technologies and
practices to protect networks, devices, programs, and
data from attack, leakage, damage, or unauthorized
access. Inaccurate, manipulated, and biased data that
leads to corrupted insights and skewed decisions can
have a major impact on business and society. Spendings
on cybersecurity and data warehousing will therefore see
significant growth in 2023.
An additional threat goes beyond the actual data but
comes about through networks and media channels
being used to spread disinformation and manipulative
influencing. AI platforms are being developed to timely
detect, correct and eliminate such misinformation.
MANAGEABLE STORAGE
SOLUTIONS
As data sets grow, organizations face numerous challenges
with respect to their storage and backup. Storage
solutions need to become more flexible and scalable as
organizations find it increasingly complex to store, protect,
and manage all collected information.
TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS. WHEREVER YOU ARE.14
The need to increase storage footprints is driven by
increases in data generation, the need to store sensitive
data in secure locations, and increasing desires to run
AI- and machine learning-driven applications. Applied
observability for instance collects data from decisions
made as well as the context in which decisions were
made. It then applies analytics to make better value driven
decisions. Real-time business processes and workflows
also require swift retrieval of data at the moment of need.
PROTECTING DATA
WHILE IN USE
Embedding work from home in company operations,
creates a greater need for data security management
during online collaboration. Privacy-enhancing
computation protects data while it’s being used.
Secure access service edge (SASE) is expected to deliver
secure end-to-end networking and security services in a
consistent and integrated manner to support the needs
of digital business transformation, edge computing,
and workforce mobility. Quantum cryptography will
take advantage of the laws of physics to protect against
eavesdropping and preventing malicious acts during
data transfer.

BUSINESS
RESILIENCE 
CONTINUITY
ASSURING SERVICES IN
OUR DIGITALIZED NOW
Today’s enterprises depend on reliable access to
applications, information, and people to persistently
operate smartly and compete effectively. The upsurge
of remote working makes it all the more urgent for
enterprises to ensure IT infrastructure and application
security when allowing staff to adapt and integrate
collaboration capabilities into their workflows.
This requires a robust communications and IT
infrastructure capable of providing always-on availability
that can also self-heal should potential service disruptions
occur. Hardware- and software-based fault tolerant
solutions that deliver five nines (99.999%) uninterrupted
service guard against outages without compromising
performance. Lock-step fault tolerance and geo-
redundancy technology protect critical data and
ensure business operations.
BUILDING SECURITY
ACROSS ALL LEVELS
Choosing the right disaster recovery strategy is a key
investment in the future stability of every organization.
Smart enterprises build security into all organizational
processes, with business and IT management working
together to protect data and applications from hardware,
Operating System (OS), and application failures
due to malicious and natural disasters. End-to-end
disaster recovery must be a top priority regardless of
organization size.
Businesses also need to physically protect their premises
and assets from malicious intrusion. Additionally, they
need to keep employees and visitors safe from any threat
that may arise during their time on the premises. To
achieve this, organizations need to ensure all employees
and visitors have been adequately screened and approved
for entry. Smart Access systems verify a person’s identity
when entering a building or specific location and restrict
access to those who are pre-registered and authorized,
COPING WITH DISRUPTION
AND SHORTAGES
COVID-19 confronted the world with unprecedented
supply chain disruption and shortages. In addition, the
worsening geopolitical environment threaten to create
new and persistent supply chain bottlenecks.
Navigating these disruptions calls for a more holistic and
proactive strategy with respect to sourcing and securing
resources across all areas, including energy and other
natural resources, materials, components, transportation,
and human skills and expertise. This means that to address
supply chain risks and reduce transportation energy costs,
after many years of globalization and just in time logistics,
the tables are turning towards deglobalization and more
focus on local sourcing and self-sufficiency. This also calls
for closer collaboration between (local) suppliers and
customers than in the past.

INTELLIGIZATION – FROM
DESCRIPTIVE TO PROACTIVE
Converting data from real life objects, contexts and
people into digital information make patterns emerge
in meaningful ways, yielding insights that improve
forecasting and signal potential malfunctions. While
analytics tools so far focused on descriptive outcomes,
their application moves towards predicting future events
and behavior, and recommending how to react to
outcomes.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning enable
systems that are self-educating, self-healing, and
proactive, supporting autonomous, self-guiding processes.
They learn from their environments and dynamically
modify their algorithms to optimize their behavior.
EXTENDING HUMAN
EXPERIENCES
Building on AI, companies are experimenting with
virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) to expand
both real-world and virtual surroundings of users and
keep customers and employees engaged in a virtual
environment. Projecting computer-generated imagery into
a user’s field of vision, superimposes it over what the user
is viewing in the real world. It changes how we perceive the
world and delivers on its promise: the end of distance to
information and the end of distance to experiences.
TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS. WHEREVER YOU ARE.17
Combining these, another world is emerging, the
Metaverse. This digital 3D virtual environment driven by
AR and VR and supported by avatars, chatbots and the like,
provides humans immersive experiences they could not
have in the physical world.
TOWARDS WIDER ADOPTION
In 2023, AI tools become widely available through cloud
platforms and open-source software. As a result, also
midsize and smaller companies will start using off-the-
shelf AI technology with adoption across all industries,
i.e., government, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, and
finance.
Businesses will ramp up its usage to streamline
efficiency for the organization and achieve new levels
of engagement, drawing on elements such as emotion
recognition and behavior analysis. In retail AR technology
will allow customers to try products before purchasing.
In education it will make learning more interactive and
engaging. In manufacturing it will facilitate prototyping
and support urban planning with creative alternatives and
better decisions. The concept of digital twins will enhance
healthcare with simulation of a patient’s body enabling a
doctor to practice before performing an actual operation.

SMART
SUSTAINABLE SOCIETY
A WORLD RECREATED
New businesses and social habitats are emerging from the
organic linkage of people, physical objects, and processes,
spurred by IoT and AI. Important steps are being made
towards building smarter societies – where information
and communications technologies ensure energy
efficiency, sustainable economic development, safety
and security, along with wise management of natural
resources.
We can expect to see eXtended Reality (XR) assisting in
tackling challenges posed by the current world situation
with education and healthcare solutions enhancing
learning and wellbeing. Medical examinations, diagnosis
and even operations can increasingly be carried out
remotely, drawing on expertise available at other locations.
A SUSTAINABLE ECOSYSTEM
As we are confronted with climate change, limited supplies
of natural resources and materials and the urgent need for
energy transition, technology has an especially important
role to play when it comes to environmental sustainability.
With networked ecosystems our environments become
more aware, responsive and connected. Smarter storage,
distribution and use of energy in buildings, vehicles, and
networks will enhance environmental and economic
performance. Connected processes and collaboration
will save time and reduce costs, scope, and impact of
physical travel and transportation. Digital technologies will
support the incorporation of circular economy principles
into businesses and society, facilitating the redesign
of products and value chains. At an individual level,
transcending time and space, people will be able to take on
new challenges more freely with education and healthcare
solutions enhancing learning and wellbeing.
A BRIGHTER FUTURE FOR ALL
The COVID-19 pandemic has shown how important digital
connectivity is in situations where physical presence is not
possible. Virtual and augmented reality technologies are
removing the distance between people, information, and
experiences, transforming the ways people live and work.
The United Nations has identified the internet as a basic
human right for all citizens of the world. This includes
affordable, robust broadband internet service, devices
and access to online content to enable self-sufficiency,
participation, and collaboration. As technology advances,
digital inclusion will encourage all people to participate in
society and feel more valued, offering more potential for
individual abilities to bloom and realizing a brighter future
for all.

  • 3. NEC’S TOP 10 STRATEGIC SMART ENTERPRISE DRIVERS 2023 Digital Transformation is recreating business models, changing the way customers and employees interact and altering whole industries. Social and business values surge when people, devices, and resources are meaningfully connected. With the COVID-19 pandemic a further catalyst, organizations worldwide are embracing digital transformation to manage rapid organization-wide changes in support of business continuity, remote working, and dynamic service delivery. Meanwhile economies are now facing the threat of recession and businesses are weighing the impact of inflation and higher interest rates, as well as having to deal with crises in supply chains, energy sourcing and the acquisition of digital skills. Making sense of such disruptive changes has never been so important in order to transform smartly instead of being left behind. As an Information and Communications Technology (ICT) leader with over 120 years of expertise and experience, NEC is sharing its views on leading and emerging trends and technologies to help your Smart Enterprise anchor its strategic investments. Explore NEC’s Top 10 Strategic Drivers and discover how to navigate through the developments to simplify your organization, realize workforce efficiencies, deliver superior customer services, and gain a competitive advantage. By embracing Digital Transformation and enabling advanced approaches to how Communications and IT services are delivered and managed, NEC provides new ways for Smart Enterprises to thrive and grow. Ronald Schapendonk Global Marketing Director NEC Enterprise Solutions TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS. WHEREVER YOU ARE.3 SMART ENTERPRISE DRIVERS 20233
  • 4. DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION INTEGRATION OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGES HOW ORGANIZATIONS OPERATE AND DELIVER VALUE TO CUSTOMERS 4
  • 5. DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION LET’S GET DIGITAL The integration of digital technologies into all areas of an enterprise is fundamentally changing how organizations operate and deliver value to their customers. It requires flexibility and creativity in revisiting business models and operational processes and the willingness to embrace cultural change. Digital Transformation is key for enterprises to enrich their operations with innovative solutions that optimize business practices, drive workforce engagement, and create a competitive edge. It involves using technologies like smart collaboration, cloud computing, Internet of Things (IoT), data analytics, biometrics, and artificial intelligence to make workflows more efficient, smooth, rich, effective, and secure. With seamless and efficient interaction being critical to organizations, instant communications need to be an integral part of these workflows. EMPOWERING A DATA-DRIVEN ENTERPRISE The power of capturing, processing, and analyzing data offers enterprises tremendous opportunity to digitally transform every aspect of business, spanning how they engage with customers, empower their employees, optimize their operations, and design their products. TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS. WHEREVER YOU ARE.5 As enterprises rely more and more on data, the reliability of that data increasingly becomes crucial. To ensure the integrity of their data, organizations will need to validate it, manage processes to protect critical data, ensure it is safely stored as well as swiftly retrievable. AUTOMATED, COMPOSABLE AND CONVERGED The keys to operational excellence Digital adoption and automation are key to operational excellence and become indispensable for organizations to survive. Hyper automation is the approach to identify and automate as many tasks and business processes as possible to support scalability, remote operation, and resilient business. Technologies include data science and machine learning platforms, Artificial Intelligence, and robotic process automation. Equipment, functions and processes becoming more and more software driven, makes them programmable to dynamically respond to changing requirements. Composable Infrastructures enable IT departments to provision workloads quickly and efficiently, while Programmable Communications enable companies to embed voice, messaging, video, and authentication capabilities into business applications and workflows via simple-to-use APIs. Application convergence finally integrates multiple applications into one system, storing data in one database and presenting all through a single user interface. 1 5
  • 6. UBIQUITOUS CONNECTEDNESS ANYWHERE OPERATIONS FOR AN OMNIPRESENT WORKFORCE Making staff omnipresent and ‘always on’ is key for enterprises to operate efficiently and effectively in today’s business environment. Organizations are capitalizing on mobility solutions that enable employees to work from just about anywhere, at any given time, whether on-site, at home, between appointments, or while traveling. Technology ensures they remain fully integrated with their organizations, colleagues and customers, as well as with their social networks. Work/life balance is enriched by the power of the smart-phone, serving both business and private communications and making it the favorite tool - not only for today’s workforce but across all generations and across all nations. MOBILE FIRST – THE DIGITAL INNOVATION PLATFORM Wireless has moved from a communications technology to become a digital innovation platform with smartphones and tablets the standard form factor for developing portals and business apps. Mobile technologies continue to drive innovation and new services, extending communications, data, and business applications to all mobile devices. Voice recognition and activation are increasingly deployed because of their ease of use, speed, and safety for people on the go. LTE and 5G connectivity will transform laptops into ACPCs (Always Connected PCs) to ensure the more processing power consuming tasks can be performed anywhere on the go. Embedded technology that senses and interacts with their environment – such as in autonomous drones and driverless vehicles – will all be facilitated by these advances in wireless technologies. MULTIPLE WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION Instead of basing a company’s mobile infrastructure on one specific technology, the integration of multiple wireless technologies will spread and provide a more cost-efficient, and flexible foundation that reduces capital expenditure and extends application areas. 5G and Wi-Fi 6/7 technology will drive factors in wireless growth, bringing increased bandwidth and higher internet speeds along with more reliable networks. It will change the way we use the internet. Besides a further stimulus for the growing need and demand for the use of video, it will also open doors for complex applications that rely on real-time access to Big Data conducted in the field and new opportunities found in the Metaverse. 2 SMART ENTERPRISE DRIVERS 20236
  • 7. 7 UBIQUITOUS CONNECTEDNESS MOBILE TECHNOLOGIES CONTINUE TO DRIVE INNOVATION FOR THE OMNIPRESENT AND ‘ALWAYS ON’ GENERATION
  • 8. SMART COLLABORATIVE WORKSPACE HYBRID WORKING IS HERE TO STAY The pandemic has made companies abandon the 9-to-5 workplace and discover how flexible the workplace can be. The traditional office is shrinking and working from home is fully accepted. This is further spurred by the need for office premises cost optimization driven by higher interest rates and energy costs. With hybrid work being the new normal workstyle, tools that support a flexible, open and agile way of working, like Unified Communications Collaboration (UCC), are a mandatory part of running a successful business. They are not only more safe, convenient, and cost-effective, but also much more productive. DRIVING PRODUCTIVE INTERACTION Connected workspaces allow disparate teams to work together in real time and enable individuals to interact efficiently and effectively with colleagues, clients, and suppliers, eliminating the need to travel. TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS. WHEREVER YOU ARE.8 They are dynamic, flexible, and user-centric, and provide easy access to tools such as click-to-call and conference capabilities, file sharing, and digital white-boarding, driving productivity and reducing latencies across organizations. Hybrid working urges distributed enterprises to keep remote workers engaged, motivated, and included in the company culture. Using instant video conferencing for daily check-ins strengthens the feeling of being part of the office community and of being a valued member of a team working to achieve the company’s goals. Smart Workspaces embed all these capabilities within business workflows to form an open and flexible workflow platform with application integration that goes far beyond communications. BOOSTING OFFICE SPACE EFFICIENCY SAFETY Smart enterprises adopt digital workplace strategies to create environments that maximize not only the employee productivity and well-being, but also the safety, efficiency and resilience of organizations. Workplace Management solutions facilitate the employee’s journey and orchestrate a visitor’s stay through office space optimization and workplace efficiency, automated reservation and touchless check-in, fully automated and secure visitor management and surveillance, sanitization monitoring, and social distancing compliance. 3 8
  • 9. DRIVING ENGAGEMENT ENHANCING THE TOTAL USER EXPERIENCE The battle among enterprises for tomorrow’s customers is fought and won on customer experience. Companies are pushing hard to deliver connected Customer Experiences (CX) across media, channels, processes, and departments – making contact easy and pleasant, lowering thresholds, presenting options most relevant to the customer, and ensuring swift response to queries. Within an organization as well new formats are introduced to enhance the Employee Experience (EX) for better business outcomes. Applications and workflows become user-centric instead of device-centric, tools become intuitive, and interactions swift and simple. REINVENTING ENGAGEMENT MODELS Smart enterprises reinvent their customer engagement models to deliver customers a distinctive, personalized experience and ensure a long-lasting relationship. The power of social networking is driving organizations to integrate social media into their business processes. Realizing that CX includes every touchpoint a customer has with an organization, makes collecting and logging all customer data across all sources essential in order to present a customer’s track record during e.g., a conversation with an agent. Workflows with access to contextual information provide smarter employee experiences and productivity. The future revolving around hybrid work, makes companies also look for ways to fuel team engagement, with tools for creative collaboration and instant video to bring context and depth to interactions. SMART PERSONALIZATION One of the keys to customer engagement lies in closely matching human behavior. This will more and more be supported by applying predictive analytics to gathered customer data and creating personality profiles that match the personality of customers. Smart personalization engines that recognize a customer’s intent will enable digital businesses to flourish. Artificial intelligence tools step in to build profiles of large customer sets and allow computers to understand the true interpretation of voice, including tone, sarcasm, pun, and even deeper context clues like double meanings. They measure behavioral cues, intentions, and emotions to create accurate profiles that can be mapped to individual customers and prospects. 4 SMART ENTERPRISE DRIVERS 20239
  • 10. 10 THE RETURN OF COST CONSCIOUSNESS COST REDUCTION AND OPTIMIZATION WILL PLAY A MORE PROMINENT ROLE IN DECISION MAKING
  • 11. THE RETURN OF COST CONSCIOUSNESS REVISITING THE BALANCE SHEETS Persistent inflation, geopolitical tensions, and fear of a global recession make enterprises more cost conscious and risk averse. While until recently businesses were predominantly focused on post-pandemic growth, cost reduction and optimization will play a more prominent role in decision making in 2023. Businesses face rapidly rising interest rates and price increases around labor, materials and energy. All this slows down investments and makes organizations revisit their balance sheets to cut costs by optimizing out of pocket spendings such as IT infrastructure and office space. PAY PER USE In the present financial tightening times with rising interest rates and energy costs, companies seek models with flexible cost attribution. Modular services, pay per use and flexible deployment models allow businesses to invest in just what is needed now, trimming up-front costs, and leaving options open for future expansion or contraction. Customers benefit from easier financial management and predictable overall monthly costs. Deploying As a Service model dramatically reduces Capex investments in equipment, space and resources. TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS. WHEREVER YOU ARE.11 While early adopters of cloud solutions embraced the innovation, organizational agility, and the new business opportunities brought by the cloud, enterprises now appreciate the cost-effectiveness and scalability of their solutions rather than just the technological merits. The fully integrated platform includes all collaboration and communications needs at one predictable, monthly, per user fee and based on month-to-month contracts with the flexibility to add or remove users at any time. ENABLING A SMART TRANSITION Organizations are nowadays overwhelmed with an increasingly large number of IT and communications solutions. Smart enterprises seek vendors that provide them with full choice of integrating new solutions, such as those based on flexible Opex subscription-based cost attribution models, while simultaneously maintaining existing platforms to the maximum of their lifecycles. Such a non-disruptive path of smart transition offers businesses a cost-effective path to modernize their communications while retaining their existing investments. 5 11
  • 12. CLOUD CENTRIC OPTIMIZATION RAPID APPLICATION DELIVERY INNOVATION Cloud computing has revolutionized IT and software delivery. Applications running in the cloud make it incredibly easy for users to signup, access, and draw on solutions available on demand and within minutes. Cloud-based deployments consequently adopt new functionality much faster and more easily than their on-premises counterparts, with new applications driving rapid innovation. The rise of industry specific modular components allows businesses to build differentiated offerings without having to fully develop the underlying technology. Organizations in healthcare, hospitality, manufacturing, and finance will increasingly adopt vertical-market clouds optimized for their sector, including industry-specific data sets. DRIVING COST OPTIMIZATION Moving IT Communications provisioning to cloud platforms – be it in a public, on-premises, or hybrid model – helps organizations increase revenue and customer experience as well as reduce risks and costs. Cloud solutions not only shift expenditure from capital investments to operational expenses, creating more flexibility and scalability to add or remove users or functionality as required. Drawing from the cloud also reduces the risks of being tied to a certain investment for the long term and furthermore means less administration, shorter introduction and deployment lead times, and less dependence on scarce and expensive in-house IT resources. FREEDOM OF CHOICE The trend towards hybrid and multi-cloud models continues. While enterprises shift more workloads to the public cloud, other tasks are preferably located at the edge or on-premises, either for more control and security, or for lower latency. A strong demand remains to leverage existing infrastructures with incremental applications that are compatible and easy to adopt. Smart enterprises will seek vendors that provide the full range of communications and collaboration solutions while offering the freedom of choice to choose between a fully on-premises infrastructure, a 100% public cloud subscription-based solution or a hybrid model. Providing even more flexibility and a smooth evolution is the capability to add cloud-based solutions to existing on- premises systems, preserving investments and extending functionality with integrated video conferencing, chat, file sharing/backup, smart workspace management and more. 6 SMART ENTERPRISE DRIVERS 202312

SECURING THE DATA-DRIVEN ENTERPRISE THE AGE OF DATA DEPENDENCE The power of capturing, processing, and analyzing data offers tremendous opportunities to drive better business intelligence, product development, and customer service. The ubiquity of IT systems and our dependence on them make cyber security a key topic and cybercrime potentially a more significant risk to society than terrorism. Organizations can be exposed to digital threats in various ways and need to capitalize on all technologies and practices to protect networks, devices, programs, and data from attack, leakage, damage, or unauthorized access. Inaccurate, manipulated, and biased data that leads to corrupted insights and skewed decisions can have a major impact on business and society. Spendings on cybersecurity and data warehousing will therefore see significant growth in 2023. An additional threat goes beyond the actual data but comes about through networks and media channels being used to spread disinformation and manipulative influencing. AI platforms are being developed to timely detect, correct and eliminate such misinformation. MANAGEABLE STORAGE SOLUTIONS As data sets grow, organizations face numerous challenges with respect to their storage and backup. Storage solutions need to become more flexible and scalable as organizations find it increasingly complex to store, protect, and manage all collected information. TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS. WHEREVER YOU ARE.14 The need to increase storage footprints is driven by increases in data generation, the need to store sensitive data in secure locations, and increasing desires to run AI- and machine learning-driven applications. Applied observability for instance collects data from decisions made as well as the context in which decisions were made. It then applies analytics to make better value driven decisions. Real-time business processes and workflows also require swift retrieval of data at the moment of need. PROTECTING DATA WHILE IN USE Embedding work from home in company operations, creates a greater need for data security management during online collaboration. Privacy-enhancing computation protects data while it’s being used. Secure access service edge (SASE) is expected to deliver secure end-to-end networking and security services in a consistent and integrated manner to support the needs of digital business transformation, edge computing, and workforce mobility. Quantum cryptography will take advantage of the laws of physics to protect against eavesdropping and preventing malicious acts during data transfer. 7 14
  • 15. BUSINESS RESILIENCE CONTINUITY ASSURING SERVICES IN OUR DIGITALIZED NOW Today’s enterprises depend on reliable access to applications, information, and people to persistently operate smartly and compete effectively. The upsurge of remote working makes it all the more urgent for enterprises to ensure IT infrastructure and application security when allowing staff to adapt and integrate collaboration capabilities into their workflows. This requires a robust communications and IT infrastructure capable of providing always-on availability that can also self-heal should potential service disruptions occur. Hardware- and software-based fault tolerant solutions that deliver five nines (99.999%) uninterrupted service guard against outages without compromising performance. Lock-step fault tolerance and geo- redundancy technology protect critical data and ensure business operations. BUILDING SECURITY ACROSS ALL LEVELS Choosing the right disaster recovery strategy is a key investment in the future stability of every organization. Smart enterprises build security into all organizational processes, with business and IT management working together to protect data and applications from hardware, Operating System (OS), and application failures due to malicious and natural disasters. End-to-end disaster recovery must be a top priority regardless of organization size. Businesses also need to physically protect their premises and assets from malicious intrusion. Additionally, they need to keep employees and visitors safe from any threat that may arise during their time on the premises. To achieve this, organizations need to ensure all employees and visitors have been adequately screened and approved for entry. Smart Access systems verify a person’s identity when entering a building or specific location and restrict access to those who are pre-registered and authorized, COPING WITH DISRUPTION AND SHORTAGES COVID-19 confronted the world with unprecedented supply chain disruption and shortages. In addition, the worsening geopolitical environment threaten to create new and persistent supply chain bottlenecks. Navigating these disruptions calls for a more holistic and proactive strategy with respect to sourcing and securing resources across all areas, including energy and other natural resources, materials, components, transportation, and human skills and expertise. This means that to address supply chain risks and reduce transportation energy costs, after many years of globalization and just in time logistics, the tables are turning towards deglobalization and more focus on local sourcing and self-sufficiency. This also calls for closer collaboration between (local) suppliers and customers than in the past. 8 SMART ENTERPRISE DRIVERS 202315

  • 17. EXTENDED REALITY INTELLIGIZATION – FROM DESCRIPTIVE TO PROACTIVE Converting data from real life objects, contexts and people into digital information make patterns emerge in meaningful ways, yielding insights that improve forecasting and signal potential malfunctions. While analytics tools so far focused on descriptive outcomes, their application moves towards predicting future events and behavior, and recommending how to react to outcomes. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning enable systems that are self-educating, self-healing, and proactive, supporting autonomous, self-guiding processes. They learn from their environments and dynamically modify their algorithms to optimize their behavior. EXTENDING HUMAN EXPERIENCES Building on AI, companies are experimenting with virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) to expand both real-world and virtual surroundings of users and keep customers and employees engaged in a virtual environment. Projecting computer-generated imagery into a user’s field of vision, superimposes it over what the user is viewing in the real world. It changes how we perceive the world and delivers on its promise: the end of distance to information and the end of distance to experiences. TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS. WHEREVER YOU ARE.17 Combining these, another world is emerging, the Metaverse. This digital 3D virtual environment driven by AR and VR and supported by avatars, chatbots and the like, provides humans immersive experiences they could not have in the physical world. TOWARDS WIDER ADOPTION In 2023, AI tools become widely available through cloud platforms and open-source software. As a result, also midsize and smaller companies will start using off-the- shelf AI technology with adoption across all industries, i.e., government, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, and finance. Businesses will ramp up its usage to streamline efficiency for the organization and achieve new levels of engagement, drawing on elements such as emotion recognition and behavior analysis. In retail AR technology will allow customers to try products before purchasing. In education it will make learning more interactive and engaging. In manufacturing it will facilitate prototyping and support urban planning with creative alternatives and better decisions. The concept of digital twins will enhance healthcare with simulation of a patient’s body enabling a doctor to practice before performing an actual operation. 9 17
