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%
