As businesses navigate the process of digital transformation, digital buying of enterprise software solutions has increased in popularity. Business decision-makers are feeling pressure to transform, with the concurrent goals of moving to the cloud and striving to keep costs low driving the majority of today’s purchasing decisions.
Our newest research report, 2019 B2B Digital Buyers’ Journey: Trends, Challenges, and Predictions — done in partnership with SAP — offers a global dive into the current trends, practices, challenges, and behaviors in relation to the digital buying of enterprise software solutions. We share the findings of our recent study on the subject informed by the opinions of 1,000 global decision makers, enterprise software buyers, and IT leaders.
Our study shows that in many instances traditional annual buying cycles no longer exist, as many businesses not only prefer, but are also now equipped to buy an enterprise software solution whenever the need arises to meet their digital transformation needs.
It’s no surprise then that the shift from traditional buying to digital buying is almost entirely aligned with the digitization of the organization and the promise of streamlined, cost-effective, and frictionless operational efficiency.
