A digital strategy will enhance customer perception and increase sales if it aligns with the overall business strategy and is the vision, roadmap, processes and tools that will transform an organisation in its use of digital delivery as a primary channel for its services.
The digital strategy can also set out any re-alignment of organisational structure and processes needed to create a level of agility in the continuous improvement of the customer experience, at an increased pace only available through digital channels.
The move to become 'digital' provides more personalised and immediate interactions with customers and stakeholders, leveraging data to serve the most relevant information and services for a user during their interaction. It defines the communications plan to engage users and transfer them to the new model.
What is digital strategy?
Digital strategy is a term that encompasses the
more familiar areas of marketing, web and IT
strategy. In essence it establishes, in an integrated
way, how a company markets, sells and delivers
its services to customers. Front to back.
Digital Marketing Strategy (DMS)
Although it is most often confused with DMS, digital strategy takes a much larger organisational approach and provides a foundation for more detailed marketing initiatives. DMS builds from a traditional marketing strategy and not directly from a business strategy and tends to focus on specific marketing channels and activities.
Web or online strategy
The web strategy looks specifically at web-based technologies and communications opportunities that deliver content to customers and users, while Digital Strategy examines underlying technologies, resources and processes that provide the foundation for a successful web strategy.
IT Strategy
While digital strategy inherently requires a deep integration with enabling business IT systems, the focus is on using technology platforms and tools to enable customer intimacy, fulfillment and content management. This differs from back office technology which focus on broader business
needs, e.g. Financial reporting & productivity.
