Chris Harrold Joins @ExpoDX Faculty | @CHarrold303 #AI #IoT #IIoT #SmartCities #ArtificialIntelligence #DigitalTransformation

Digital Transformation is much more than a buzzword. The radical shift to digital mechanisms for almost every process is evident across all industries and verticals. This is often especially true in financial services, where the legacy environment is many times unable to keep up with the rapidly shifting demands of the consumer. The constant pressure to provide complete, omnichannel delivery of customer-facing solutions to meet both regulatory and customer demands is putting enormous pressure on organizations of all sizes and in every line of business. Fintech is a constant battleground for this technology expanding trend and the lessons learned here can be applied anywhere. Digital transformation isn’t going to go away and the need for greater understanding and skills around managing, guiding, and understanding the greater landscape of change is required for effective transformations.

Information Booth 2.0 | @ExpoDX #AI #IoT #SmartCities #AI #IoT #DigitalSignage #DigitalTransformation

Before dismissing the information booth as a primitive and outdated concept, stop to consider that advanced analytics are starting to give us the Information Booth 2.0. That’s right! The information booth is still a cutting edge idea!!! It provided just the right information, in the right place, to the right audience. It influenced the customer journey at the very point of consumption. It wasn’t packed with irrelevant information about things that were not consumable then and there. In fact, global organizations are spending billions on marketing analytics trying to replicate the information booth concept for today’s digitally connected consumers and more often than not, failing to replicate the personalized experience that the information booth delivered.

Omnichannel 1.0 is Dead. Long live Omnichannel 2.0 | @ExpoDX #DigitalMarketing #DigitalTransformation

Traditional retailers have had plenty of time to get their act together, as Amazon is a survivor of the dot-com frenzy of the 1990s. To be sure, they have each implemented one online strategy or another, but as they soon realized, simply selling goods online barely accounts for a blip on Amazon’s inexorable growth trajectory.

As the Digital Era dawned with the rise of smartphones, retailers realized they had to reinvent the sales channel or face extinction. The multichannel strategies of the late 1990s and early 2000s – adding ‘web’ to ‘in-store,’ ‘phone orders,’ and ‘mail order’ – wasn’t going to turn their fortunes around.

And so, omnichannel was born.
