Digitally enabled business models like those of Amazon, Google, Uber, and Airbnb, are changing all the rules of business; affecting growth, scale, and profit potential for companies in every industry.
Enterprises are recognizing they are losing pace in today’s highly mobile environment where optimal customer experience is defined by fast, seamless and secure interactions from anywhere using any device. Breaking down calcified processes and mindsets is a critical step towards digital integration and closing the gap between early and late adopters.

According to reports,it is estimated by 2017, almost two-thirds of all US retail sales will involve some form of online research, consideration, or purchase.

While in South Korea, shoppers are not so much mobile first as “mobile only.” Of consumers who shopped on a mobile device, 13 percent did not shop in stores, and 53 percent did not shop via other digital channels.
