Digitalization - DEVELOPMENT TOWARDS e- SOCIETY 

The digitalization could be explained such as the evolution of the humanity, a development of the human intelligence, if it is used properly. At company’s level, the target of this digitalization is to develop effective management and operational processes to make easier and maximize company’s efficiency.  If we want to know the impact of this phenomenon on companies and markets you just have to think about one question:

What company could survive in its respective market without have a webpage or appear on the Internet?
Nowadays it’s impossible to imagine a big company or a SME without a minimum reference on the Internet, because that information makes customers trust in enterprises and their services or on the other hand doubt about them depending on the appearance of their webs or regarding opinions of other costumers. But the profits of digitalization provide more advantages than disadvantages to companies. With the progressive arrival of this phenomenon all the markets have been globalized and enterprises have yield benefits from it, using for example the Internet as a canal to sell their products and gain share of the market.

When we are thinking about digitalization and taking into account its progress, an unavoidable question appears on our minds: Will we be replaced in our jobs for computers in the near future? In this digital era we can’t be sure at all. All the enterprises require a good use of technologies as something essential and basic to fulfil their profile of employee. It’s all about taking any opportunities to learn about technological process and programs that could be useful for working in different kind of enterprises.

The main target of this Conference is to motivate and make the students aware about the importance of technologies in business, showing them a huge variety of options to use digital technology and the profits that could be achieved through it. The characteristics of the event and the quality of the projects which will be presented in the DiGiDay Conference will offer a perfect opportunity of gaining meaningful insights of present and future trends in digital marketing and sales for businesses. At the end of the DiGiDay Conference we will leave with a pretty good idea of how important the technology
is nowadays for business.

That digital marketing is very important for a company at all levels: awareness, website, brand advertising,
personalization etc. Also to engage the consumers it is a great idea to involve them in activities related to the
company for example sending them surveys so they can get involved in the improvement of the company.
And for the last one it is kind of obvious, the bookings being made online or through an app. It’s innovative!
