Digitization or Digitalization or Digital transformation is the process of conducting your business through digital platforms.
Contrary to popular belief, this doesn’t necessarily mean starting an online business or is not limited to putting your business online.
One very simple example of digitilization would be your ability to read this article online from any part of the world, which in the absence of digital mediums would have been a complete nightmare.
If you look at all the popular businesses, the reason why they could grow beyond cities and countries to a worldwide audience is because of digitalization.
And Again, I do not mean just “getting business online” part but everything related to making your business digital.
For example, 20 years ago if you had to find the address of a vehicle, you had to file a complaint and then it would take the police department months to locate the address and that too if it is in the local zone.
If that vehicle is from another city or state, The chances of you getting that information were close to nothing.
What they did is put the data/information on a digital platform and made it available online to access.
A simpler example of this can be managing your ledger on an excel sheet or an accounting program on your computer or laptop.
Imagine looking for a receipt from 6 months ago to find the GST number of the merchant, putting that information on a digital platform, makes it easier to locate.
According to Gartner Global tech retail shopping will reach $218.5 billion by 2021 and Acc to Deloitte by 2010 India is expected to reach $50 billion in online shopping.
Digitalization has a variety of benefits for small and mid-size organisations, let’s understand them one by one:
Data management -10 years ago if you had to find an invoice from 1 year ago, You would have to manage a documentation room full of files and would need to spend hours to find the invoice and it may as well be destroyed or hampered in the due time.
The management of documents and searching was a tedious process and involved a lot of time, manpower and efforts to complete a simple task.

As an organisation delivering products/ services you can reach out to a wider audience which otherwise wouldn’t be able to come to your door. When they can’t come to you, you can reach them.
In the absence of digitalization, you would either send a letter or make a phone call to your prospects and customers, remember or records the conversation and make notes of it, send the same for confirmation.
