Statistics: The internet and other computer networks and their use by European enterprises to do eBusiness

New report from eurostat:
The internet and other computer networks and their use by European enterprises to do eBusiness (8 pages; PDF)

Report Highlights:

• For European enterprises with 10 or more persons employed, internet connectivity is reaching saturation, but when it comes to interactive websites there is still room for improvement.

• Using computer networks to make purchases is a reality for one fourth of the enterprises, and one in ten make online sales.

• The use of internal computer networks and intranets is progressing well, but there is still scope for doing better, especially among smaller enterprises (with 10 to 49 persons employed).

• Integration by automation or automatic linking of business processes is best implemented in the distributive trade sector, where 45% of enterprises integrate internally and 23% do so externally with other enterprises.

• The difference between smaller enterprises and large enterprises is greater for more advanced applications of ICTs. The percentage of enterprises with internet access ranges from 90% to 99% between small and large enterprises but from 31% to 68% when it comes to integration of business processes.

• The use of ICTs by enterprises has grown steadily in the last two years for several technologies. Even internet access, reaching saturation, still increased by 2 percentage points, from 89% to 91%

Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
