Did you know that approximately 70% of digital transformation projects fail? What keeps businesses from moving away from their manual processes?
The key detail in successful digital transformation has been a structure that keeps organizations on task, helps to educate employees, and ensures adoption. With more recent guidelines in developing a citizen developer program, digital transformation should be easier to achieve.
