1. Why is digital presence more important than ever before?
We saw industries digitize over the last 10 years. Video meetings, retail stores, digital price tags, and much more. This got accelerated with pandemic. Hyper demand, and it’s not just major companies driving digitization - bakeries, craft shops, and smaller businesses need to get online too.
Customers thought, “Get me to the results faster.” It’s not just website, it’s workflow. And during the pandemic it needed to be good, fast, and cheap.
2. Do you see a future where this goes back to how it was before? Or is this the ‘new normal’ for online behavior?
We have set the standard on digitization and business digitization, and it’s here to stay - Standing in line for hours to get groceries will be unacceptable!
But it really comes down to this: we have more advanced digital experiences
