Just under a fifth (19%) of UK businesses surveyed have good digital health, around half (51%) have average and under a third (29%) rated poor, according to a European digital health study from Zoho, a leading global technology company.
The study rated businesses surveyed on their practices within Digital Transformation. Large UK businesses tend to perform better when it comes to digital health, with a third (33%) rated as having good digital health. Medium UK businesses (14%) receive a good digital health rating and just 11% of small UK businesses have good digital health.
In contrast, Spain and Germany performed better, with a quarter (25%) of businesses surveyed in each market rated as having good digital health.
“It’s clear to see that the UK has a lot of progress to be made in terms of business digitisation and to meet the UK Government’s target of becoming the leading global tech hub,” said Sachin Agrawal, Managing Director, Zoho UK. “Benefits are clearly understood but there needs to be a lot more education and training from businesses and from vendors providing digital solutions to help companies overcome challenges and realise the full potential of their investment in digitisation.
“Businesses must think more clearly about creating long-term partnerships with the right vendors for their Digital Transformation journeys. We advise taking a strategic approach where aligning tools, consolidating platforms and closely mapping to business goals is critical to avoid some of the challenges raised in the study and to improve the digital health of UK businesses.”
