Summary

A Zoho study reveals that only 25% of Spanish companies have good digital health, compared with 35% with a weak foundation and 39% at an average level. Large companies are better placed (35%) than medium-sized (21%) and small ones (20%). Spain ranks behind Germany (37%) and the United Kingdom (35%), but ahead of France (24%) and the Netherlands (14%, the lowest score in Europe). According to Sridhar Iyengar, Managing Director of Zoho Europe, good digital health is decisive in benefiting from AI: 99% of well-positioned companies report a positive ROI in automation, compared with 46% of those in poor digital health. The perception of AI as business-critical also varies widely depending on this factor (38% versus 5%).
