Manufacturing organizations have benefitted greatly from the practice of Digital Transformation<\/i>. Yet the very concepts that have driven great improvements in R&D, supply chains and factory operations are often ignored by digital marketers, writes MotionPoint EVP Craig Witt in a guest post at Automation.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Some manufacturing marketers aren\u2019t leveraging the best practices of digital transformation on their company websites, Witt says. But this should be embraced\u2014especially for manufacturers that serve businesses across the globe. In these cases, the company website is a central touchpoint for a customer\u2019s overall experience with the brand and products.<\/p>\n

Witt offers several key insights on how marketers can apply the best learnings of digital transformation to their websites, and ways that maximize a lean marketing team\u2019s investment. Those tips can create cross-departmental benefits for marketing, sales, HR, global suppliers and more.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
