Digitization is the process of converting information into a digital format, such as scanning a photo or converting a paper report into a PDF file. One important aspect of digitized information is that it can be easily changed without traces of editing. The advantages of digitization include saving time, faster access to information, improved customer experience and decision making, improved security, and automation of business processes. However, disadvantages include potential less community, data security issues, social disconnectedness, work overload, and job insecurity. The process of digitization involves initiation, selecting documents, converting information digitally, organizing the digital collection, and providing access and maintenance.
