Digital Switch

This week, we are kicking off 2020 by chatting with Erika Lunceford, PeerNova's Global Head of Solutions Engineering, to break down and discuss the benefits, challenges, and opportunities in digital transformation. 

During this episode, we will analyze the key components of digital transformation in the financial industry; people, process, and technology. 

Erika offers her expertise in answering a few key questions:

• Why is digital transformation so important for financial institutions?
• Why is it difficult to successfully implement a digital transformation strategy? 
• How should a financial institution begin the process?
