THE Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of digitalisation. Dobrica Savic wrote in his paper, “Covid-19 and Work from Home: Digital Transformation”, that the global spread of Covid-19 forced businesses to innovate and change their business practices. Working from home suddenly became mandatory and the importance of office spaces has waned. This sudden need to work from home is speeding up the digital transformation of the workplace. Since the outbreak of the pandemic, widespread adoption of telecommuting has become a business necessity.

Furthermore, movement restrictions have caused more people to purchase and sell products and services digitally, further speeding the digitalisation process. Food ordering and grocery shopping systems, as well as fintech networks are all expanding, signalling that the world is shifting towards electronic solutions.
