It’s so easy to switch “on” at any time of the day and in any place using the latest technology, but what’s really impressive is how this digital transformation continues to affect business communications.
Technology has undoubtedly improved productivity in modern businesses. Companies are continually coming up with new and better ways to solve common problems, and digital transformation has led to business owners becoming more innovative.
But more than that, communication with one another has become a lot easier as well. For younger employees who have grown up in the digital age, it is just expected that businesses will communicate with them in modern ways.
How digital transformation has influenced business communications
Internal communications
Printed newsletters used to be a primary way for businesses to relay information to their staff. After some time, intranet, online articles, and email newsletters took its place.
The introduction of automated workflows also helped speed up many business processes, increased efficiencies and minimized human errors. Digital communication gave business leaders easy access to staff and other divisions.
Now, many companies are taking the next step and developing internal staff apps. These apps enable companies to have faster and clearer forms of communication and project monitoring, no matter where the staff are. Apps may include videos, blogs, social media, and webinars. File sharing, chat rooms and video conferences are also popular inclusions.
In an age of flexi-schedules, working remotely and outsourced staff, internal apps offer companies new levels of flexibility and convenience.
External communications
With digital transformation comes the speed of communication. Businesses have become more and more aware of the need to be active on social media and boost their online presence. Digitizing external communications to these platforms provides customers with better and more frequent information that is available 24/7.
While people can easily connect with everything that’s happening around them, it’s not, however, just about connection but also the meaningfulness of the connection they get. This has created an opportunity for companies to earn loyal customers.
Multi-channel communication is also particularly beneficial when interacting with suppliers. It allows businesses to save time from doing mundane tasks like order processing and gives businesses more time to work on personal relationships rather than administration.
