Digitization, Digitalization and Digital Transformation
They may sound like the same thing; however, digitization, digitalization and digital transformation, each represents a different stage towards a fully digital business mindset. Digitization Digitization is basically the analog-to-digital transition. We might apply it at the stage that businesses keep their records on paper and deal with physical documents. Digitization involves converting your analog business data to digital computer files. The computers store the data instead of file cabinets and it is much more efficient. Digitalization Digitalization is the way of using digital data to simplify your work processes. We can apply it once businesses digitized their records but still follow analog methods to use digital data. Digitalization doesn’t mean changing how you do business or getting into a different type of business. You will keep your business methods the same but adopt new ways for immediate access to data to work faster and more efficiently. Digital Transformation Digital transformation is the use of digital technologies to create new business processes or change existing ones. At this stage, your business is ready to adapt to the digital age by all means. For digital transformation, businesses should take a step back and revisit all the methods they follow, from internal systems to customer interactions both online and in person. Digital transformation adds value to every customer interaction and is essential for long-term business success. What We Offer We assist businesses at every stage of this spectrum with proceeding to the next step. According to how much you wish to devote, we will create a tailor-made plan to get your business closer to the digital age. You can get your business ready for future by taking a proactive step in this direction. Every step towards reimagining of your business will make it more agile, more sustainable, and ready to grow.
