The level of digital maturity of companies that have turned to the Chambers of Commerce is rising: fewer "newcomers", more "experts" or "champions" of 4.0 technologies. But the road to digital transformation is still long. This is what emerges from the snapshot taken by Unioncamere which compared the results of the Selfi4.0 self-assessment test carried out online by companies between 2018 and 2019 on www.puntoimpresadigitale.camcom.it, the network of physical and virtual digital business points created by the Chamber system for the dissemination and adoption of advanced digitization tools. The digital "restorative cure" that entrepreneurs are doing, also thanks to the use of PID services, has therefore begun to produce the first positive effects.
33% of companies that last year lacked digital knowledge, qualifying as Beginners in self-assessment, advanced in May this year to the level of Apprentice thanks to the use of basic digitization tools within their own activity. While entrepreneurs classified as Experts or Champions grew by 24% because they learned, in the same period of time, to successfully apply the principles of Enterprise 4.0, sometimes even achieving a good digitization of their processes.
"These encouraging results reward the joint commitment made by the Chambers of Commerce together with the Digital Innovation Hubs, the Competence Centers, the Research Centers and the Universities to allow a growing number of companies to ride the fourth industrial revolution". That's what he says general secretary of Unioncamere, Giuseppe Tripoli, who adds "through the services offered by the PIDs we have brought almost 46 thousand entrepreneurs to learn about the advantages of digital and, of these, over 10 thousand have used our free self-assessment tool to focus on their strengths and weaknesses on which to aim to transform one's entrepreneurial reality into a 4.0 Company”.
