digitalization
Converting to digital
Digitalization is the process of integrating digital technology into business operations, social institutions, or everyday life.
It goes beyond simply converting analog information to digital form—that's digitization.
Digitalization transforms how organizations function: The digitalization of banking has made branch visits obsolete for most transactions.
The term often appears in discussions of economic modernization and technological disruption.
