US Manufacturing: Top Technology Initiatives 2004
According to Gartner Dataquest’s latest annual survey of manufacturers : Wireless infrastructure technology is the 2nd most important technology investment AND wireless applications are the 3rd most important application investment for US Manufacturers
Interestingly, wireless technology and applications did not make the list of top 5 priorities last year (i.e 2003)
Wireless has made the leap from being a discretionary, ‘cool’ technology TO being a technology delivering business performance and enterprise benefits
