Industrial Networking: Real-time Foundation for Manufacturing and the Enterprise

Aberdeen's research consistently shows the majority of manufacturers are driven by the continued need to reduce operational costs. To address this pressure, manufacturers are constantly looking for new ways to enable collaboration and real-time visibility for improved decision-making among key employees. Between August and September 2012, Aberdeen surveyed 122 manufacturing executives about the current state of their manufacturing operations and industrial networks. This Research Report will investigate how companies are using industrial networking as a competitive advantage and provide a roadmap for expanding its use in the future. In particular, the study will benchmark the ways manufacturers are using industrial networking as a competitive advantage from a people, pro cess, and technology perspective. Request Free!
