What is digital transition?
The digital transition converts information from a physical format into a digital one. It is a
company transitioning from analog to digital. For instance, the traditional way of writing a let-
ter on paper is digitized by writing an email. Likewise, scanning a picture of a payment receipt
and saving it on a computer constitutes digitization.

following benefits:
• Retrievability of data
Working with physical format data can sometimes be risky and impossible to retrieve if lost.
• Interaction
The digital age promotes crowdsourcing and remote interaction with digitized information
by various people to improve the consumer experience.
• Ease of access to information
Because content is available remotely, it is more accessible. One of the benefits of the digi-
tal transition is the ability to access data. In addition, it enables the integration of content with
other digital technologies.

Physical information is susceptible to damage, whereas digitization can store and pre-
serve data. Many sectors, including education, finance, health, and population, require large
amounts of data to be processed. Due to the digital transition, they can handle documents more
quickly and effectively.
The role of the CEO in the implementation of digital transition
Implementing and embracing digital transition is part of the CEO’s visionary leadership
strategy that must be carried out as a culture within an organization. CEOs must break the ice
and establish principles and steps to support this transition.

tion is a solid principle to establish and implement by the company’s leadership.
