2019 Digital Trends Financial ServicesJames Brophy
The 2019 Digital Trends: Financial Services in Focus report is a barometer of the extent to which financial services and insurance organisations are embracing digital technology, and how they are focusing their strategies and prioritising resources for the year ahead and beyond.
White Paper: Bridging the Gap between Marketing & IT with Customer Identity &...Gigya
As customer data and digital experiences become the linchpins of business success, there is an unprecedented need for marketing and IT to come together. Bridging this gap requires a solution that addresses the needs and concerns of both marketing and IT while presenting opportunities for joint departmental and business growth. We'll take a look at three marketing and IT conflicts and how customer identity and access management (CIAM) provides a highly collaborative and effective solution.
The insurance industry – from product development to underwriting to claims – is being fundamentally transformed by AI technologies. Although some companies are investing aggressively in AI to slash costs while also enhancing the customer experience, most insurers will need to accelerate their efforts or risk discovering that it has become too late to catch up.
Being Digital, Fast-forward to the Right Digital Strategy Fabio Mittelstaedt
Do my Company have the right Digital Strategy? Is it compelling enough to beat my competitors? Or to conquer the new digital customers from millenniums to baby boomers? Competing in a world shaped by digital technologies requires a fundamentally different approach to how strategies are developed and executed. 55% of business leaders admit that they do not yet have an enterprise-level digital strategy to support their corporate strategy. But there is a difference between developing some digital capabilities or being a digital lead in your industry. Digital disrupts business strategy. Business leaders must consider a new strategic approach.

The past two years have necessitated big swings and quick thinking. In 2023, smart
business leaders will get focused — pruning efforts that aren’t bearing fruit and prioritising
long-term growth. The war in Europe and resulting global economic slowdown are forcing
firms in Asia Pacific to find new growth drivers and lead with purpose as uncertainty
rises. Most will struggle, however, to find a balance between investing in transformation
and growth while simultaneously embracing environmental sustainability, resilience, and
employee empowerment.
Trust will be at the forefront of business operations in 2023. Customers are increasingly
weary of organisations playing fast and loose with their personal data, and regulators aren’t
far behind. And it won’t stop there — fuelled by the ire of fed-up customers and employees,
regulators will scrutinise greenwashing, misinformation, and employee surveillance.
The interlocking market dynamics of 2023 will require business leaders to adhere to a
long-term strategic vision while operating within unknown territory. A laser focus on their
organisations’ missions and strengths — and a willingness to shed distractions that don’t
move the needle — will be the defining factor of success in 2023.

Because of this, it was difficult for small wholesale distributors and retailers to implement B2B ordering solutions in their businesses.

Digital Commerce Lecture for Advanced Digital & Social Media Strategy at UCLA...Valters Lauzums
E-commerce in 2024 is characterized by a dynamic blend of opportunities and significant challenges. Supply chain disruptions and inventory shortages are critical issues, leading to increased shipping delays and rising costs, which impact timely delivery and squeeze profit margins. Efficient logistics management is essential, yet it is often hampered by these external factors. Payment processing, while needing to ensure security and user convenience, grapples with preventing fraud and integrating diverse payment methods, adding another layer of complexity. Furthermore, fulfillment operations require a streamlined approach to handle volume spikes and maintain accuracy in order picking, packing, and shipping, all while meeting customers' heightened expectations for faster delivery times.
Amid these operational challenges, customer data has emerged as an important strategy. By focusing on personalization and enhancing customer experience from historical behavior, businesses can deliver improved website and brand experienced, better product recommendations, optimal promotions, and content to meet individual preferences. Better data analytics can also help in effectively creating marketing campaigns, improving customer retention, and driving product development and inventory management.
Innovative formats such as social commerce and live shopping are beginning to impact the digital commerce landscape, offering new ways to engage with customers and drive sales, and may provide opportunity for brands that have been priced out or seen a downturn with post-pandemic shopping behavior. Social commerce integrates shopping experiences directly into social media platforms, tapping into the massive user bases of these networks to increase reach and engagement. Live shopping, on the other hand, combines entertainment and real-time interaction, providing a dynamic platform for showcasing products and encouraging immediate purchases. These innovations not only enhance customer engagement but also provide valuable data for businesses to refine their strategies and deliver superior shopping experiences.
The e-commerce sector is evolving rapidly, and businesses that effectively manage operational challenges and implement innovative strategies are best positioned for long-term success.
