# Is Re-Platforming the Only Option for B2B Commerce?

Apr 18

Written By [Lee Riesterer](https://blog.viax.io/resourcesindustrynews/author/lee-riesterer)

A [recent report from McKinsey](https://www.mckinsey.com/capabilities/operations/our-insights/capturing-the-true-value-of-industry-four-point-zero) states that more than 50% of U.S. manufacturers are starting or in the process of digital transformation as a way to fuel business growth. 

Manufacturers are always trying to find ways to increase agility and innovate the way they serve customers. They know it’s the only way to respond to rapidly evolving market conditions as competition increases and customer needs change. With new digital technologies, they’re finding better ways to serve their customers more efficiently than before. 

While digital transformation results in measurable advantages and ROI, it’s not without a myriad of challenges — especially for manufacturers.
