Case study: Data analytics adoption in Singapore

A recent study has found that almost 70% of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) operating in Singapore have not adopted any data analytics within their organisations, and half of those have no plans to do so in the future. In this study, RSM Singapore’s Adrian Tan reveals the findings of a survey of almost 600 SMEs conducted with the Singapore Institute of Technology, and the Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants, and how they have been using this data to help RSM middle market clients to understand the benefits of using data analytics.

Digital transformation

For businesses adjusting to a new normal, digital transformation is the way forward 

When the quarantine first began, most companies were caught off guard. The immediate need was to set up a remote workforce, with some organisations handling this transition better than others. 

This was quickly followed by the need to stabilise cash flow to make sure more money was coming in, than going out - no small task during a global economic downturn.

Innovation survey

RSM International commissioned a study of successful companies across Europe to investigate how and why they pursue innovation. Undertaken by the European Business Awards, the report comprises responses from 791 companies in 33 countries, spanning multiple industries and sizes.
