Digitalization changes not only individual types of business, but also entire industries. We are confident that AR glasses will soon become the same familiar and convenient working attribute of field employees as a tablet or mobile phone today. Technology cannot be ignored, otherwise the company risks not only lagging behind competitors, but not staying at all, "said German Borodov, director of work with key customers of VimpelCom.[1]
