March 20196 A recent report by finance giant Deloitte revealed several challenges plaguing the metals and mining industry today. Legacy enterprises need to embrace change to steer ahead of competitors and keep pace with evolution. For instance, traditional firms need to open their doors to accept digitization, going ahead. Miners need to put their best foot forward in grasping the benefits of adopting cutting-edge technologies and how effectively they could be exploited to steer ahead. For instance, legacy mining players should ideally be acquainted with autonomous vehicles, drones, 3d printing technologies and wearable technologies. The growth of most organizations today is significantly dependent on stakeholder relationships. Metals and mining firms need to nurture stakeholder relationships and decision makers should ideally foresee the eventual fruits of stakeholder interactions. Enterprise bosses must leave no stone unturned to ensure an increase in demand of local employment opportunities, improvement in infrastructure and environmental protection. Metals and mining authorities need to comprehend constantly changing shareholder expectations and need to gather around the table quite often to devise steps that could be taken to align with the average shareholder's needs. Thus decision makers should initiate steps that could drastically change the face of the industry, in general. Many organizations are also seeking the assistance of leading consultants to overcome traditional challenges and devising innovative solutions to gain a competitive edge. In the wake of the myriad challenges plaguing the metals and mining sector today, our editorial board conducted a comprehensive study of promising vendor firms from across the globe. This edition of our magazine, a compilation of `Top 10 Metals and Mining Solution' providers from across the globe, is a result of their relentless efforts. We hope this piece helps organizations belonging to the metals and mining sector end their pursuit of ideal vendors.
