On digital transformation
“There are two significant initiatives that I pursued through our organization to help us achieve digital transformation: the first is our latest enterprise resource planning implementation, and the second is the initiation of a data team. Data is something that businesses need to streamline operations and create stronger teams, which help drive better business outcomes and customer satisfaction. ”
