Digital transformation is ubiquitous and even more so in the advent of the coronavirus pandemic, which forced a virtual environment upon us. The obvious necessity of digital infrastructure to conduct business, coupled with the growing demands by consumers for quick and convenient solutions have placed a greater emphasis than ever on embracing developing digital capabilities.
