The rapid digitalisation of the economy, turbo-charged by the Covid-19 pandemic, has presented new opportunities for all types of business. But the acceleration also brings challenges; businesses are under more pressure than ever before to offer secure, seamless, and efficient customer journeys to run a successful digital operation.
