Field Service Management and the Status of Digital Business Transformation

Digital business transformations are influenced by the following factors: Technology innovation, customer behavior and demand, and external environmental factors. In order to get a clarity on what they are, we have provided a brief summary on all.

Technological innovation refers to the nature and rate of change through which technological changes occurs and gets adapted. Transformation is not just about technology innovations or usage in the business, it is also about how these technological innovations are adopted and used. It is important to know if these innovations bring value to the organization and if they can easily be adopted in the organization or is the organization experiencing difficulties integrating this new technology into their system.

The next factor to keep into consideration is customer behavior. Consumer or customer behavior can be broadly classified as the decisions and actions influencing the behavior of the consumer towards a specific product, service, brand or an organization. What are the customer demands and expectations from your business and is your business able to meet the customer’s demand with the help of the latest technologies? Organizations have to deal with external influences such as regulatory laws, changing the economy, market competition, and business partner demands apart from just the customer and hence it is essential that these additional factors be kept into consideration too. A recent study was done by Forrester report and Accenture found that:

The key drivers of digital transformation are profitability, customer satisfaction, and increased speed-to-market.

The study asked decision-makers about what their major strategic priorities over the next year looks like.

The number one choice was “improving the experience of customers, ” followed by growing revenues.
