How to set and achieve your technology goals for 2025
With a new year come new business goals. How does your technology stand up to the test? While it’s easy to dream big, execution and technological barriers often become the stumbling block to elements like customer experience, revenue growth, and operations. How do you set realistic, actionable tech goals and ensure their successful implementation?
We guide our customers through this problem all the time–here’s our roadmap to transforming your ambitions into measurable revenue growth and success. From crafting a seamless customer experience to ensuring your operational infrastructure is rock-solid, here’s how to strategize and succeed with your 2025 technology objectives.
1. Start with a strategic foundation
Before diving into specific tools or platforms, take a step back to align your technology investments with your broader business objectives. Ask yourself:
- What are our business goals for 2025?
- Which technologies will best support these objectives?
- How can we measure the ROI of our tech investments?
A clear understanding of your goals ensures every dollar spent on technology contributes to your growth and profitability.
2. Upgrade your website: design, branding, and conversion rate optimization (CRO)
Your website is often the first touchpoint for customers and prospects. In 2025, an exceptional online presence isn’t optional; it’s critical. Focus on these key areas:
Modern design and branding
- Ensure your website reflects your brand’s identity and speaks to your target audience
- Opt for clean, mobile-responsive designs that prioritize user experience
High conversion rate optimization
- Implement A/B testing to understand what drives conversions
- Simplify navigation, create clear CTAs, and use engaging visuals to guide users toward actions
Pro tip: Tools like heatmaps and session recordings can reveal where users are dropping off, giving you insights to refine your website further.
3. Create a strong eCommerce experience
For B2C companies and B2B firms with product-based offerings, eCommerce is a cornerstone of revenue generation. Your eCommerce platform should:
- Offer fast, secure, and frictionless transactions
- Personalize user experiences through AI-driven recommendations
- Integrate seamlessly with inventory and order management systems
Pro tip: Loyalty programs, exclusive discounts, and engaging post-purchase communication can turn first-time buyers into lifelong customers.
"It's not atypical for us to get thousands of orders in a day, and we are actually able to sync orders every 15 minutes, which means we get near real-time data when members are purchasing."
4. Prioritize security and maintenance
Cybersecurity threats are ever-evolving, making it vital to protect your digital assets and customer data. For 2025, prioritize:
- Regular security audits: Identify vulnerabilities and patch them promptly.
- Website maintenance: Ensure plugins, themes, and core software are updated.
- Backup solutions: Implement automated backups to minimize downtime during crises.
5. Leverage engineering solutions for operational excellence
Behind the scenes, your business relies on engineering solutions to keep operations smooth and scalable. These upgrades strengthen your operational infrastructure, reduce inefficiencies, and improve overall productivity. Focus on:
Development and implementations
- Upgrade outdated systems to modern platforms
- Build efficiency through tailored automations
Integrations and data migrations
- Ensure all your tools and systems communicate effectively
- Migrate data with minimal disruption to day-to-day operations
6. Boost visibility with SEO and domain authority
A stunning website is useless if your target audience can’t find it. Invest in:
- SEO strategy: Research keywords that align with user intent and optimize your content accordingly.
- Content marketing: Publish high-quality, engaging content that positions your brand as an authority.
- Technical SEO: Address page speed, mobile-friendliness, and site structure.
Improving your domain authority takes time, but with consistent effort, your website will rank higher and attract more organic traffic.
7. Enhance campaigns with Google Ads
Paid search advertising can complement your organic efforts, driving immediate traffic to your website. For successful Google Ads campaigns in 2025:
- Use performance tracking to identify high-performing keywords
- Experiment with ad formats like video and responsive ads
- Continuously optimize campaigns to maximize ROI

8. Strategy and consulting: audit your current systems
How well are your existing tech systems working? Conducting a thorough audit can help identify:
- Bottlenecks slowing down operations
- Gaps in functionality or integrations
- Areas where automation could save time and money
Our team can help you evaluate your current setup and outline a plan for improvements.
“From the get-go, you’re having in-depth conversations about all the products in your architecture…those are conversations that you don’t get with a salesperson.”
9. Track your progress and ROI
Once your goals and strategies are in place, establish metrics to monitor your progress. For example:
- Website traffic, conversion rates, and bounce rates
- Customer retention and satisfaction scores
- Cost savings and productivity improvements from operational upgrades
Regularly review these metrics to adjust your strategies as needed and ensure you’re on track to achieve your 2025 goals.
