One market, countless needs

Two experts, ten opinions. No other industry comes with such diverse views on the subject of digitization than the B2B industry. Some B2B companies still do not feel new online portals will benefit their business as their sales reps rely on personalized service.

However, this loyalty fades away when the same customers are asked about their need for faster, cheaper or more efficient alternatives.
