Digitisation refers to the process of converting analogue or physical information into digital formats that can be read and processed by computers and other digital devices. It is about putting information into a digital form that can be processed and used more easily, quickly and efficiently.
Digitisation has become much more important in recent years due to the increasing prevalence of digital technologies and devices. Examples of digitisation in organisations are the conversion of paper documents into electronic formats, the digitisation of images and films, or the transfer of music and other media to digital platforms. Digitisation is an important step towards digital transformation, as it forms the basis for the use of data and digital technologies, which are key to improving business processes, developing new products and services and opening up new business areas.
