"Digitization"

Explain the meaning of digitization.

What is digitization?

Digitization is the conversion of analog information and data, such as paper documents and photographs, into digital data. The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's "DX Report 2" defines it as "the conversion of analog/physical data into digital data." For example, it could mean creating a database of lists that were previously managed on paper, or incorporating email and chat tools as a means of communication. Digitization can also refer to the use of tools to digitize some of the work that has previously been done analogically.

A word very similar to digitization is digitalization, which refers to the digitalization of individual business and manufacturing processes. Unlike digitization, which refers to localized digitalization, digitalization refers to the process of optimizing entire business processes using digital technology, leading to improved business efficiency and the creation of new value. Although digitization and digitalization are different concepts, both are considered essential for advancing DX (digital transformation).
