Consumer behavior is always changing and evolving. However, in recent years we have witnessed significant changes in the business world. We have seen an acceleration in the adaptation of online shopping, an increase in the need for omnichannel strategies, consumer demand for more sustainable solutions, expectations of faster, safer, and more efficient processes, and so on. In fact, according to McKinsey & Company “Availability, convenience, and value are the strongest drivers of new brand purchases.”
Companies should adapt to these changes so that they can survive in an increasingly competitive environment. A successful business must always adapt to the changing world. Managers must work on strategies to build a strong and lasting competitive advantage and make periodic reviews of the strategy so it can fit into the current market context, which is constantly evolving. And this is where one of the challenges lies, the ability to detect the signs of change and adapt quickly and efficiently to the market circumstances.
The digitalization of telco businesses
Now let’s look at the telecom industry. The telecom industry continues to make progress in expanding its network capacity with additional fiber and wireless deployments to meet the constant demand for higher-speed networks. The need for good quality and competitively priced equipment, faster purchase processes and reliable partners can be the key to the rapid rollout of network expansion projects. To overcome these challenges telecom companies are starting to look for new approaches and discontinue their traditional buying and selling processes, to make their work faster, more efficient and deliver projects on time or meet their selling goals.
