Digitalization goes hand-in-hand with digitization. While digitalization is often described as a positive development, digitization — or turning physical objects into digital files or data — does not have such positive connotations. Digitization is the process of making something digital. There is no digitalization without digitization. Digitalization and digitization are not new concepts — for example, it’s been used to describe digital currency and digital humans. However, what does the term mean for your business? To understand the concepts of digitalization, let’s first define digitization and digitalization.

Digitization is the process of converting physical documents into digital form like electronic files. To scan the paper document and save it as PDF is an example of digitization.

“Digitalization is the use of digital technologies to change a business model and provide new revenue and value-producing opportunities. It is the process of moving to a digital business.” — By the Gartner Glossary. Digitalization is a transformation of business models to make use of digital technologies rather than traditional methods. For example, a company deciding to handle digital versions of all its financial documents would be considered part of the process known as “digitalization”.

Business digitalization refers to the integration of technology across an organization, which is intended to transform how it operates with customers and other stakeholders. Digitalization is more than just buying and using a new tool or software; it requires organizations to evaluate, challenge and reconfigure business processes.

How did your business get started on the path to digitalization?
