A Definition by Salesforce
“Every digital transformation is going to begin and end with the customer,
and I can see that in the minds of every CEO I talk to.”

Digital transformation is, by definition, the “process of using digital technologies to create new – or modify existing – business processes, culture, and customer experiences to meet changing business and market requirements.”
