A proposition for digital transformation of global groups into efficient enterprises is introduced. At the heart of the proposition is a transformational practice aimed at creating a customer-focused, data-driven global culture in any customer-serving company. The digital age has added a level of complexity to the way we acquire and serve customers. Doing a good job in the traditional channels is not enough anymore. Online is increasingly becoming the channel of choice with the two main customer-interaction paradigms: sell and service. And building a great customer experience is probably the most essential factor of success for both functions.

What if customer experience was the primary driver of digital transformation? Indeed, new hybrid experiences have emerged thanks to daily-life technologies that fused both digital and physical worlds. This kind of experience uses applications and connected objects (IoT) to adapt and respond to consumer needs. Augmented reality and virtual reality are one of the most functionally and emotionally memorable phygital experiences that create value for customers. In this chapter, the authors chose heritage tourism as the study field for different reasons. While the adoption of augmented and virtual reality is gaining grownd, cultural heritage sites have started to consider the possibilities offered by these new and innovative technologies. This industry is starting to integrate AR and VR in several ways to attract more people. However, it is necessary to study how modern technology can be developed and implemented in a meaningful way to improve the tourist's experience. An AR- and VR-based mobile application has been developed and tested at Antonine's Baths in Carthage, Tunisia.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to discuss digital transformation and its four trajectories – digital technology, digital strategy, customer experience and data-driven business models – that could shape the next generation of services. This includes a discussion on whether both the market and organizations are all ready for the digital change and what are the opportunities that will enable firms to create and capture value though new business models. Design/methodology/approach Providing services is a proven and effective way to secure a competitive position, deliver long-term stable revenues and open up new market opportunities. However, it is also clear that some organisations are struggling to digitally transform. Therefore, the commentary provides a brief insight into how firms explore the possibilities of digital transformation and navigate these uncharted waters. Findings Today’s digital technologies affect the organisation outside and in, enabling the creation of new business models and transforming the customer experience. The incumbents are acutely aware that they need to transform strategically – to build new networks and value chains. Originality/value This commentary extends earlier work exploring the digital disruption within services to highlight a number of connected areas: the challenges and opportunities of digital transformation at a strategic level, as well as understanding and enhancing the customer experience and seeing how new data-driven business models can underpin service transformation.
