Digital transformation requires an ongoing commitment that evolves over time, argues Geoff Webb, vice president of strategy at software company PROS, and a change in mindset rather than a reliance on technology alone.

It’s easy to throw new technologies at a problem, but the deep shift that has to occur requires a level of cultural and organizational support that can be challenging to drive and maintain over the long run.”
