The World Runs on Digital – Do You?
Everywhere you look, you see signs of technological progress. From the phone in your hand,
which can also be a video camera, calculator, and cloud storage sharing tool, to the ever-
changing LED billboards that now showcase a new business every 30 seconds, technology is
everywhere. Consumers have acclimated to a digital world, and you can build a better business by integrating your operation into the world of e-commerce and online marketing and collaboration.

Understand the advantages.
There are many reasons that adopting a digital transformation attitude is important for your
business. Depending on what you choose to implement, your employees will be more
productive, your customers will have a better overall experience, and you’ll have the tools in
place to make better decisions.

Start with e-commerce.
If you have yet to start selling online, now’s the perfect time to get started. It’s never been easier to share your business online, let people make purchases, and even invoice, all without your customers having to leave the comfort of home. Of the many benefits associated with utilizing an e-commerce platform, perhaps one of the most important is that it helps you broaden your brand. It’s also highly scalable, and having an e-commerce shop quite simply looks professional

Look to the cloud.
If your business is more about service than products, you may not need e-commerce, but all
businesses can benefit from the cloud. The cloud is a catch-all term for servers and systems
located off-site but that are accessible from anywhere. Utilizing cloud document storage, for
example, means that you could handle many common business tasks, even on vacation. BralinTechnology Solutions explains that other reasons to use the cloud are data backup, disaster recovery, and better collaboration
.
Time management.
If we're honest with ourselves, we all struggle with time management from time to time.
Technology can help with this as well. You can utilize digital services, such as Scoro,
ActiveCollab, and others, to help you organize your projects and pay attention to the time it
takes you to complete them.

Business process management.
Business process management (BPM) is not any singular tool. Instead, it is simply a blanket
term to describe technology that you use to streamline tasks that previously took up many man-hours. Anytime you utilize BPM strategies, your employees will be happier, and you can continue to make improvements based on your BPM progress.

Content sharing.
Content marketing is an important part of your digital transformation. Much of this will involve sharing content that goes beyond product descriptions. You can use social media to show how your business works or create video content to help your customers better understand your processes. Podcasts, infographics, interactive content, and even a simple introduction on your homepage are all excellent ways to utilize the technology you have at your fingertips to build a better business.

When it comes to efficiency and convenience, you can also use your iPhone to save a photo as a PDF. The advantages of this is that you’re able to quickly share the saved PDFs on a number of other devices and platforms, including your website and feed. Images that are hefty regarding file size can be saved as this type of document at a much smaller file size without losing graphic quality. Better yet, it can be done in three easy steps.

Virtual reality.
Virtual reality and digital transformations go hand-in-hand. Although it might sound futuristic now, get ready to present your business in virtual reality. A few examples of how augmented and virtual reality can be put into use are through AR shopping experiences or even online makeup mirrors that can show your product on your customer’s face.
WeAR Studio notes that VR tools help your customers make better buying decisions, and they will serve to show your business in its best light to customers from across the globe. The world has gone digital. If your business has not adopted a digital transformation attitude, then you’ll be left behind. From utilizing business process management to giving your customers a chance to try your products virtually, the tips above are just a few ways you can get started.
