Companies, Not Consumers, Taking Lead on Wearables

But despite this public interest, Accenture Technology Labs believes enterprises will take the lead on using wearables in the workplace—and begin deploying as soon as the Fall of 2014. Why? Wearables offer numerous business cases with substantial cost savings by boosting “deskless” employee efficiency, enabling over-the-shoulder video collaboration, accelerating decision making and more.
Based on benefits like these, wearable technologies are also set to disrupt every industry and change how certain employees perform their jobs. Imagine retail salespeople accessing information about customers while guiding them to specific products, manufacturing technicians reviewing real-time machine information while walking the shop floor, warehouse staff keeping hands free while inventorying and sorting packages, and fire chiefs guiding fire fighters to a safe evacuation route. This could be the future of work.
