What is Digital Transformation?
Digital transformation is a process where companies fully transform their business model to take advantage of digital technologies. It is a long-term strategic initiative requiring significant changes to how companies operate.
This transition is not just about digitizing products and services or implementing cutting-edge digital marketing tools. It is about understanding the customer in a new way, being smarter with data, and using technology to disrupt current business models to create competitive advantages.
The goal of digital transformation is to bring together customers, employees, and partners into an integrated ecosystem where everyone can act and react faster than ever before.
How does Digital Transformation Impact Customer Experience?
Digital transformation and digitalization have changed consumers' behavior and expectations. Digital transformation has created a new customer journey, which is more complex and demanding, and digital customers expect businesses to be digital and take advantage of digital possibilities.
AI, mobile devices, automation, machine learning, apps, social media, search engines, etc., have made information, products, and services available when customers need them.
These possibilities have also affected what brands can do to improve customer experience. And if you don't live up to the increasing expectations, you might lose the race.
Digital transformation has impacted the customer experience in many ways, including:
-
The availability of information on demand
-
A new omnichannel approach to marketing
-
Artificial intelligence (AI) assistants that provide personalized recommendations
CX is a Part of the Digital Transformation
CX is an important part of digital transformation.
A customer is no longer just an individual but also a business partner. And with this change in how we think about our customers, we need to ensure that they get what they want and need when interacting with us digitally. This means we must be more aware of how we interact with them and what they want from us.
We also have to ensure that we are not doing anything that will harm their experience with us or, even worse, drive them away from us altogether.
The customer experience is about providing them with the service or product they want and need and ensuring that it meets (or exceeds) their expectations in every way possible via all digital channels.
The Possibilities of Using Digitalization in Customer Experience
Digitalization is a powerful tool to help improve CX. You can use digitalization and the effects of digital transformation in many ways, but the most common is by creating great customer service and interaction.
Customer service has evolved over the past few years and is now a more personalized experience. Customers can get their questions answered on social media and through chatbots. They can also use live video streaming services to interact with customer service representatives. This digital transformation has benefited companies because they can reach their customers in more ways than before. But as mentioned earlier, this has also changed the customers' expectations.
