Digital management of corporate documents is worth 2.3 billion

The digital management market of corporate documents is worth 2.3 billion, up 13% compared to 2021. This is what emerges from the research of the Digital B2b observatory of the Milan Polytechnic presented during the conference 'Digital B2B: In the land of half'. According to the analysis, this is a mature market, which grew by an average of 4% per year, but is able to continue to grow: 41% of companies expect growth moderate over the next 3-5 years, with an increase in turnover in the order of 5-9%. 54% of the value comes from solutions for internal document management, which includes the creation, acquisition, storage, research and conservation of documents. 39% from solutions for the electronic exchange of documents with business partners, including technologies such as Edi and Pec. The main priority for businesses of all sizes dimensions in the digitalization of internal B2B processes is the electronic document management, on which investments are however remain limited: 50% of companies dedicate less than 1% of their turnover to these projects. Artificial intelligence is strategic for 63% of companies, but only 13% exploit it already in internal and external document processes. Attention of Europe to digitalisation and the creation of a "Digital Single Market offers a precious opportunity", he says Paola Olivares, director of the digital B2b observatory. "Regulations - he adds - and regulations, in fact, are multiplying. It is necessary to promote the adoption of more digital technologies consolidated, especially among less digitalised companies and in the various production chains and it is necessary to explore the benefits concrete that the most innovative technologies could bring".
