In its 11th edition, the TIC Enterprises Survey identified significant challenges for the integration of Brazilian companies into the digital economy. The analysis of the results – released in 2016 – as well as articles by academic experts, government representatives, and international organizations are in the TIC Enterprises 2015 publication available for free download. It is authored by the Brazilian Internet Steering Committee (CGI.br) through the Regional Center for Studies on the Development of the Information Society (Cetic.br) of the Brazilian Network Information Center (NIC.br).

The publication presents articles discussing topics related to the results of TIC Enterprises 2015, such as digital exclusion in small and medium-sized enterprises, and emerging themes like the collaborative economy and new forms of work supported by ICT, the use of ICT as an innovation tool, and in advanced manufacturing. Readers also have the opportunity to review the methodological report of the study, the analysis of the main results, and tables allowing interpretation through different cross-referenced variables.

“With the publication of the eleventh edition of the TIC Enterprises Survey, Cetic.br once again helps society design public policies that not only promote network improvements but also assist in digital inclusion and the use of the Internet for the promotion of the well-being of all,” says Demi Getschko, president-director of NIC.br, in the preface of the book.

Alexandre Barbosa, manager of Cetic.br, highlights the importance of the study for understanding critical issues about information technologies in the business universe. “In an increasingly connected world, organizations are challenged to deepen their digitalization process, considering that the appropriation of ICT by companies in terms of new business models and new required qualifications will be increasingly decisive for their long-term survival.”
