Making businesses as smart & connected as the world we live in
Zebra Technologies Makes Fast Company’s List of Most Innovative Companies
“The concept of the ‘Intelligent Enterprise’ is about making businesses as smart and connected as the world that surrounds us. A sensor may seem like a small device, but when married with the troves of data and the ability to understand – and act – on it brings a big wave of technological innovation, creativity and new levels of intelligence to our world. To make the Intelligent Enterprise a reality, companies from across industries must collaborate on standard practices and guidelines enabling enterprises to gain greater operational visibility and reach higher levels of growth and productivity.” ~ Anders Gustafsson
