digitalisation
Converting to digital
Digitalisation is the British spelling of digitalization—the process of converting information, processes, or systems to digital form.
It often implies broader transformation: not just scanning documents but rethinking how organisations operate using digital technology.
The digitalisation of healthcare records improved patient access.
The term overlaps with digitisation, though digitalisation typically suggests systemic change rather than mere conversion.
