Tips & Strategies

From data complexity to personalization simplicity: Addressing Asia’s digital experience roadblocks

By Edward Lim | Wednesday, April 2, 2025, 4:12 PM Asia/Singapore

From data complexity to personalization simplicity: Addressing Asia’s digital experience roadblocks

How can regional enterprise overcome challenges in data integration, scalable personalization, and organizational change to deliver seamless digital experiences?

This is a continuation of an earlier strategy guidance piece where Shashank Sharma, Senior Director, Digital Experience (South East Asia & Korea), Adobe, had spelled out a corporate transformation blueprint for the financial services industry in Asia to cope with business uncertainties and unpredictable AI/digital disruptions.

In that earlier piece, Sharma had emphasized the importance of customer-centric strategies, smarter engagement, and leveraging emerging technologies such as AI to redefine customer relationships and maintain competitiveness amidst rapid changes.

This follow-up Q&A expands on those ideas by diving into practical challenges and solutions that Asian enterprises face in delivering seamless digital experiences, focusing on three critical areas: data integration for personalization, content creation at scale, and managing organizational change through talent acquisition.

DigiconAsia: What are the main challenges Asian enterprises face in delivering seamless digital experiences, and how is Adobe addressing them?

Shashank Sharma (SS): Asian enterprises face three primary challenges:

  1. Integrating data insights into activation channels
  2. Creating personalized content at scale
  3. Managing change through talent acquisition and process adaptation

These challenges are interconnected, and require a holistic approach to address effectively.

Enterprises need to focus on bridging the gap between data analysis and activation, leveraging advanced technologies to produce personalized content efficiently, and fostering a culture of continuous learning and adaptation.

To overcome these hurdles, companies are increasingly turning to comprehensive digital experience platforms that can unify customer data, enable real-time personalization, and provide tools for scalable content creation.

Additionally, many organizations are investing in change management programs and partnering with digital strategy experts to upskill their workforce and navigate the complexities of digital transformation. Even in countries that boast a large talent pool, organizations may struggle to find the right digital skills. The problem is exacerbated in other countries where the talent gap is more pronounced.

While there is a willingness to adopt digital technologies, the lack of skilled professionals hinders progress. This where my organization leverages insights from more advanced regions such as Europe, North America and Australia. We use that to help educate our customers and take them on a journey of change management. Additionally, we offer digital strategy teams to upskill customers, enabling them to effectively use available technologies to drive outcomes.

On the creative side, introducing advanced technologies in the education system can equip future professionals with the necessary digital skills, ensuring they are prepared to drive digital experiences when they enter the workforce.

DigiconAsia: Why is data integration such a significant hurdle for organizations in Asia and worldwide?
