Life before the Internet or digital transformation seem so complex. Now that almost everything is within your reach, life is made easier. In this article are different ways on how the introduction and adoption of digital transformation have changed an individual’s everyday life.
Employment
Before, employment processes were a total hassle. People had to physically be at the company office just to pass an application form. Now, employment processes are made simpler because of digital transformation.Most companies nowadays have adopted a digital transformation tool or trend which helps them review and assess candidates for a job opening. For example, you want to apply as a flight attendant in an airline. This particular airline has a common platform where you can sign up, send an application, and wait for a notification or confirmation about your employment process. Most companies do this to track potential employees easier.
Not only that but, through digital transformation, there is less work unproductivity and inefficiency. Of course, on most days you still have to be physically present, but on days you can’t, a lot of digital transformation tools are readily available for you to utilize so you can still proceed with your tasks. Can’t be physically present for a meeting? Then Skype, Facetime, or Facebook Messenger is the answer!

Location is no longer a problem because there are hundreds and thousands of options to choose from online. To add to that, gift cards, scan or barcodes are now available. Which means you can now start paying for things through any of your devices.Aside from all that, you can also customize your profile on shopping apps, which means consumers have access to your information. This is a plus because, through this, they can send you emails and suggestions about new arrivals, the latest trends, etc.
