XR for Enterprise: How to Gain Buy In and Prove its Value – Lockheed Martin, AECOM, Thermo Fisher and More Share Insights
For those that take the dive into immersive tech, the gains are real and demonstrable, strengthening the case for investment and deployment. Our XR Industry Insight Report (2019-2020) showed that a massive 93% of enterprises that have decided to use VR have seen a positive effect on their business, with 57% saying that that uplift was very positive. In 2018, 38% said that they were seeing strong or very strong growth in VR for enterprise, which rose to 46% in 2019’s survey.
This reflects demand trends with enterprise end users seeing strong ROI. 93% of enterprise users said that VR had had a positive impact on their business and 88.4% said the same for AR/MR. AR/MR is being used far less frequently, with 56.6% saying that they use the technology and most likely applications in sales, marketing and external communications (although not everyone). Clearly, enterprises deploying XR are reaping the rewards; yet for those who have not begun their immersive transformation, gaining internal buy in a proving the value can be a challenge.
