Digital transformation has the power to give you a tremendous boost, and open a clear advantage over your competitors.
As much as people look outside their company for opportunities – new products, new markets, and new strategies – some of the biggest opportunities can actually be found within the business itself.
One of the biggest of these internal opportunities is digital transformation. It has the power to turbocharge everything that you do, taking your entire organization to the next level.
We’ll cover how to gain the edge with digital transformation below.
What is Digital Transformation?
Digital transformation is the adoption of digital technology within an organization to improve how it operates, delivers value, and serves its customers.
At its simplest, digital transformation can look like replacing paper contracts with e-signature tools like DocuSign, swapping out scattered spreadsheets for a centralized CRM like HubSpot or Salesforce, or moving from printed employee handbooks to a searchable internal knowledge base on platforms like Notion or Confluence.
Other common examples include automating invoice processing and approvals, using dashboards to track real-time business performance, or integrating AI-powered chatbots to handle routine customer queries around the clock.
But digital transformation can be much larger in scope; it could mean building a custom internal app that gives every team member access to the tools, data, and workflows they need in one place, or fundamentally rethinking how the business operates from the ground up.
Notably, global spending on digital transformation is expected to reach approximately $3.4 trillion in 2026, and exceed $3.9 trillion by 2027.
Why is Digital Transformation Important?
Digital transformation has been shown to have a massive impact on ROI, efficiency, company culture, and other key areas within a business. Some specific benefits of digital transformation include:
Improvement of Processes
Digital transformation has completely changed the way many businesses operate, and in doing so, has removed millions of unnecessary, wasted human hours from teams within companies.
Now reps on the road can seamlessly sync with the head office in real time, finance teams don’t have to chase documents, and company leadership can get a clear picture of exactly where the company’s performance stands.
Far from “replacing” human beings, digital transformation frees people from repetitive, boring, non-value-creating tasks to focus on their key strengths, enabling them to add value to the company.
Standardization of Procedures
Anyone who has worked with large amounts of data knows that standardization is everything. The larger the organization, the more important standardization becomes.
It’s tied to everything: from financial reporting measuring key metrics, and from AI and machine learning capabilities to procedures and processes that work consistently.
Digital transformation, when done correctly, can ensure standardization across the board, removing a massive headache for many companies.
Customer-centric Thinking
Digital transformation can revolutionize the way your organization relates to, and thinks about, your customers.
For example, if up until now your customer had to dial a call center – complete with wait times, frustrations, identifications, and someone who may or may not be able to help – in the future, with a digital transformation strategy in place, this whole process can look completely different.
Imagine your customer is on your website and initiates a chat. You can know exactly what products they’ve purchased in the past, what content they’ve consumed, where their interests lie, and tons more. They can be effortlessly routed to a specific product expert who you know can deal with their issues effectively, leaving them delighted.
Engaging Employees
The same thought process can be followed with one of your greatest assets – your employees.
Internal business apps are incredibly effective at engaging employees, something many companies have traditionally struggled with.
Highly-engaged employees have been shown to perform better, stay longer, and contribute to a positive work environment and company culture.
Digital transformation can also be leveraged for training, onboarding, celebrating milestones, communicating across the company, sharing documents, and much more.
Driving Efficiencies
Digital transformation has been used to completely overhaul order management, inventory management, billing, deliveries, and more.
The Competitive Landscape is Shifting Fast
Digital transformation isn’t happening in isolation; it’s being pushed forward by major forces reshaping entire industries. According to McKinsey’s Technology Trends Outlook, governments and corporations worldwide are pouring money into building their own technology infrastructure, from local chip manufacturing to quantum computing labs. For businesses, this means the competitive landscape is changing fast, and those that invest in digital transformation are better prepared to adapt and stay ahead.
At the same time, technology is growing in two directions at once. Massive data centers are powering large-scale AI, while smaller, more efficient technology is being built into everyday devices; phones with on-device assistants like Apple Intelligence and Galaxy AI, cars making real-time driving decisions, and factory sensors predicting equipment failures before they happen. The tools available to businesses are getting both more powerful and more practical.
The companies that come out on top will balance large-scale systems with tools built for specific needs, whether that’s automation for a niche process, AI for a single department, or energy solutions that work locally. Digital transformation ties it all together.
Digital Transformation for Affecting Change Internally
By focusing on digital transformation, you can shape your teams’ culture, language, goals, and pride.
An investment in digital transformation is an investment in your people. You’re making their lives easier and helping them contribute more effectively to the company’s success, and signaling that you value their capabilities as you try to remove administrative burdens from their shoulders.
Second, you have an opportunity to delight people within the company, upskill them, retain knowledge within the company, and if you ensure that the look and feel of internal applications is as great as it could be, you’ll be creating a more beautiful organization from the inside, out.
Getting Started with Digital Transformation for Your Company
Clearly, your company can benefit from digital transformation. It can give you a decisive advantage and boost key metrics across the board.
When done correctly, digital transformation is seamless, powerful, and doesn’t create any disruption – quite the opposite, as everybody within the company heaves a sigh of relief and asks themselves, “How did we ever get along without this?!”
