| | December 20186CIOReviewIt is no news that the overall productivity gains over the last two years have been slow for enterprises around the globe. Reports highlight that companies based out of the U.S. experienced an average yearly increase in output per hour of just 1 percent. Despite the emergence of many technological advancements and access to an increasing number of enterprise-grade solutions, the results, however, have not been satisfactory. With the amalgamation of three generations, businesses are struggling to find solutions that can not only drive productivity in the digitally-driven employees but also the workers who aren't tech-savvy. Another major factor that has caused a hindrance to companies attempting to enhance productivity in their workforce is that they are investing in technologies without understanding its outcomes. Today, employees invest more time juggling between applications and devices than actually focusing and accomplishing their work. In other words, adopting advanced technologies does not necessarily translate to heightened productivity. It is vital for organizations to be discerning about the tools they provide to their employees for regular usage. It is time for enterprises to strategically implement technologies by carefully assigning their own goals, think how the new systems can add value, and nitpicking the right solution providers who can help convert the firm's ambition into reality. In today's increasingly competitive business world, companies require a partner with the rich domain expertise and hands-on experience in the field rather than a mere vendor with an array of solutions. With the increasing demand for productivity tools that are highly integrated, mobile-oriented, scalable, organizations are also on the look for the right partnership to help grow the business alongside improving the firm's bottom line. With an aim to help CIOs find their perfect vendor match and adopt the right solutions, CIOReview presents its Productivity Special Edition, featuring insights from industry thought leaders and innovative solution providers with the expertise to ease CIO's enterprise productivity pain points. We hope this edition will complement your journey to heightened efficiency. Let us know your thoughts.
