The BearingPoint Digital Leaders Study 2020 shows that Dutch companies have improved their digital maturity over the years.

Digital customer interaction should exist at the core of the company’s business models to stay ahead of competitors. The gap between the top-performers, that excel in their digital businesses, and the low-performers, that fall behind, is increasing.
