Even more digitization of Polish companies

The Digi Index 2022, which in a way is the equivalent of the PMI for the digital industry, increased by 0.6 points this year - from 1.8 to 2.4. This is a very good sign which indicates that Polish entrepreneurs are willing to increase spending on digitization. According to the authors of the report, managers less and less often ask the question "whether" and more and more often "how" to digitize a company. As many as 70% of the survey respondents declared that they invest in digitization, which is an increase by 42% y/y. FORDATA's internal analyzes show that owners of law firms show a similar tendency. Particularly, smaller entities increased their interest in the VDR tool, which is related to, inter alia, a greater participation of law firms in transaction processes compared to corporate finance advisors, as of recent. Our estimates show that the Virtual Data Room was used in approx. 30% of transactions carried out on the Polish market in the last quarter.
