Before we were in a global pandemic, many organizations prioritized short-term digital projects instead of an investment in digital transformation. However, the pandemic revealed how important it is to have long-term strategies and why business leaders need to invest in the future. With what is going on today, organizations need to establish a digital foundation to quickly turn when needed.
Investments in marketing technology continue to be a priority for all types of businesses as they strive to meet increased demands in personalization.
