From a broad perspective, it\u2019s simple: Keep up or fall behind. Understanding what digital transformation means to your business requires a bit more exploration, however.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-the-drivers-in-digitalisation-and-digital-transformation\">What are the drivers in digitalisation and digital transformation?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The root of any change in business starts with customers. It has to: Customer happiness is how you win in business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Modern customer expectations are being driven by largely digital technology and digital innovations. The always-connected customer is always seeing new possibilities. When they see new things elsewhere, they want them from you, too. And if you can\u2019t offer them, they\u2019ll find someone else who can. The digitally connected world makes it easier than ever for customers to comparison shop and move from one brand to another, often with minimal effort required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"layout-one wp-block-salesforce-blog-offer\">\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-offer__wrapper\">\n\n\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-offer__content\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"wp-block-offer__title\">State of the Connected Customer<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"wp-block-offer__description\">Gain insights from consumers and business buyers on the intersection of experience, technology, and trust.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/in\/resources\/research-reports\/state-of-the-connected-customer\/\">Read the survey<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-offer__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-offer__graphics wp-block-offer__contour\"><\/div>\n\t\n\t\t\t<!-- Standard Illustration -->\n\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-offer__graphics wp-block-offer__illustration\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/in\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/salesforce-blog\/dist\/images\/offer-block\/offer-illustration-layout-one.png\" alt=\"\">\n\n\t\t<!-- Small Accent Illustration -->\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-offer__graphics wp-block-offer__accent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/in\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/salesforce-blog\/dist\/images\/offer-block\/offer-accent-layout-one.png\" alt=\"\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<!-- Left Side Illustration -->\n\t\t\n\t\t<!-- Cloud Illustration -->\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-offer__graphics wp-block-offer__cloud\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/in\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/salesforce-blog\/dist\/images\/offer-block\/offer-cloud-layout-one.png\" alt=\"\">\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-digital-innovation-shapes-business-across-all-industries\">Digital innovation shapes business across all industries.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Digital transformation impacts every industry. Whether your business generates revenue through client services, digital media, or physical goods, technological innovations can transform your means of production, distribution, and customer service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on your business, your customer could be a consumer or a business-to-business (B2B) client. Let\u2019s extend our perspective to also include your employees. As we\u2019ll talk about in a moment, employee expectations are being driven by their own consumer experiences, particularly when it comes to digital innovation in the workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-customers-expect-digital-technology-and-innovation\">Customers expect digital technology and innovation.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Today\u2019s customers are connected and empowered by the digital era. They\u2019re connected 24\/7, and increasingly want and expect that same around-the-clock access to the companies they do business with. The key drivers behind this change in consumer behaviour? Mobile devices and social media.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over half of customers surveyed for Salesforce\u2019s report \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/in\/resources\/research-reports\/state-of-the-connected-customer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">State of the Connected Customer<\/a>\u201d said that technology has significantly changed their expectations of how companies should interact with them. More specifically,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2016\/05\/online-retailers-should-care-more-about-the-post-purchase-experience\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">73% of customers prefer to do business with brands that personalise their shopping experience<\/a>, according to the Harvard Business Review.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/in\/products\/platform\/why-business-need-transformation-innovation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Salesforce\u2019s research<\/a>\u00a0also reports that 57% of consumers said it\u2019s absolutely critical or very important for companies they purchase from to be innovative. Otherwise, they might just look for new companies to buy from: 70% of respondents said new technologies have made it easier for them to take their business elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-employee-empowerment-drives-digital-solutions\">Employee empowerment drives digital solutions.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Apple iPhone is often mentioned as a key driver in the adoption of consumer technology in the workplace. The iPhone wasn\u2019t originally marketed to businesses, but it quickly became popular, to the point that corporate IT departments had to accommodate employees wanting to use iPhones in lieu of other devices. Once a few big employers opened their doors, acceptance of iPhones in the enterprise spread quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The iPhone disrupted the status quo for technology adoption in the workplace. Instead of IT leaders telling employees which approved devices to use, enough workers asked for iPhones that IT departments eventually acquiesced. This trend continues today, with more \u201cconsumer-grade\u201d technologies making their way into the workplace. Maybe even more noteworthy is the flip side of the trend: Enterprise software has started taking design and functionality cues from the consumer world. Long live ease of use!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-digital-first-employees-are-connected-employees\">Digital-first employees are connected employees.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Millennials \u2014 more than any other subset of the workforce \u2014 are proponents of the digital-first mentality. Having come of age on PCs, consumer electronics, and phone apps, millennials expect to enjoy the same powerful, easy-to-use digital tools in the workplace as they do in the rest of their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Digital transformations apply this digital-first state of mind to empower all your employees. In the same way that consumers look for businesses ready and willing to connect with them 24\/7 via social media and other digital channels, today\u2019s employees thrive in environments that make it easy to collaborate, access information, and work anytime and from anywhere. Digitalisation is a powerful ally of the empowered employee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For small businesses, the upside to building a digital business can be game-changing. Not only is digitalisation key to meeting customer expectations and empowering employees, but it can also help small businesses do more with less. The efficiencies afforded by going digital \u2014 having one comprehensive database shared across your entire business, leveraging customer data to create personalised messaging and service strategies, enabling employee connectivity from mobile devices, for example \u2014 can free small teams up to spend more time winning and keeping new customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bonus: When you build digitally from the beginning, it\u2019s much easier to scale systems as your business grows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-digital-innovations-are-transforming-industries\">Digital innovations are transforming industries.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Employees aren\u2019t the only ones benefiting from easy-to-use, always-on access to information in the workplace. Machines themselves are getting smarter, too. Artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud analytics, and sensors of all&nbsp;sizes&nbsp;and capabilities are transforming manufacturing, production, research \u2014 virtually all facets of business across all industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"layout-astro wp-block-salesforce-blog-related-trail\">\n\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"related-trail__illustration
