For many businesses, data has become the new currency. Organizations have come to rely on data insights to monitor the health of the business, track productivity, and identify key opportunities to optimize outcomes. However, implementing and maintaining analytics efforts can come with its own set of challenges. In order for organizations to make the most out of data, reliable data management is key. In this regard, many are turning to cloud-based analytics models for scalability.

Making the digital shift has always been of key importance, but even more so in the last few months. As organizations across different verticals navigate a new landscape post-pandemic, it has become critical to reevaluate priorities and strategies for digital adoption. But enabling digital transformation requires a solid foundation, and cloud computing plays an integral role in this regard.

Across industries, the COVID-19 pandemic has made digital transformation an urgent necessity. With global calls to stay at home, businesses have gone digital, employees are working remotely, and consumers’ shopping preferences have shifted due to worries of disease transmission and the need for social distancing. In the retail world, this means catering to shifts in buying patterns, rethinking the distribution process, and transforming the sales pipeline as it is.
