//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
With manufacturers
becoming more dependent
on technology, effective
Business Continuity in the
sector is becoming more
vital than ever. Claude
Schuck, Regional Manager,
Middle East at Veeam,
tells us about the havoc
outages can cause and
how manufacturers can
limit their impact.

ndustry 4.0 has become the Holy
Grail in manufacturing. Faced with
customer demands that are evolving
faster than ever before – and the
pressure of ongoing economic uncertainty
– manufacturers are turning to Digital
Transformation in pursuit of the new era
of manufacturing.
From more efficient operations to a deeper
knowledge of customers and bringing new
products to market at speed: Industry 4.0
promises to help manufacturers meet the
needs of the future.
The financial benefits could be significant.
Manufacturers in EMEA believe that their
digital investments will drive revenue
growth of 13% over the next five years,
while the sector’s digital leaders are already
deriving over 50% of their revenue from
digitally-enhanced or digitally-led products
and services.
