Technology changes rapidly.  An organization that resists change will lose customers.  In order to stay relevant and maintain customers, you have to be present.

It all comes down to communication.  If your organization cannot communicate effectively, internally or externally, customer service and morale will deteriorate.  It’s essential to teamwork and success.
