At the start of the digital age, digital transformation efforts were just about getting your business online. Not many businesses had a clear digital transformation strategy. As organizations become more digitally mature, digital transformation became more about reorienting the entire company's people, processes, and technology to serve the customer. Businesses weren't just trying to get online and spam potential customers. Instead, businesses wanted to understand what people were doing online and why. In all areas of digital transformation, marketers should be thinking about how they respond to customers and what kinds of experiences they deliver in the different stages of the customer journey.

Adobe Experience Manager is helpful for launching and modernizing websites and managing digital assets. Adobe Analytics allows you to measure the effectiveness of your user experience strategies. Adobe Campaign helps marketers interpret data to understand what customers are doing and deliver personalization at scale. Adobe Experience Platform acts as a CDP where marketers can build customer profiles and see how individual customers are interacting with touchpoints across platforms.

The new Adobe Creative Cloud, available separately for individuals and enterprises, converts the erstwhile Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Dreamweaver, AfterEffects, etc) into a monthly or annual subscription model where the customer can seamlessly access the tools from any platform — desktop, laptop, tablet or phone — even while they have the option of storing all their files and work on the Cloud. The ability to harness these tools anytime, anywhere, as long as you have a valid license, is slowly selling the idea to many long-term users who were used to the idea of 'owning' a copy that resided on their own device. The option of downloading the full suite or part of it on one's desktop or laptop still exists, but the powerful new extension is the ability to access one's work-in-progress and edit it on the fly, on devices like tablets or phones, without taking up storage real estate for bulky applications like Photoshop.

The most important element of a digital transformation strategy is clear communication across your organization. Every sector of your business needs to understand what digital transformation means for the entire company, individual business units, specific teams, and each employee. Every person needs to work toward the same goal. Miscommunication or lack of buy-in between teams can derail efforts. For some companies, financial investment in digital technologies can be a challenge. Fortunately, digital transformation is a business strategy that guarantees a strong return on investment.

Mature organizations that have automation, digital technologies, and data analytics in place will be able to focus more on digital citizenship: the responsible use of digital technology. Ethical imperatives like privacy, security, sustainability, and digital accessibility will be top of mind. With exceptional user experiences as the standard, customers will care more about supporting companies that share their values, so organizations will invest in digital innovations that help them maintain their customers' trust.
