In order to be able to discuss the benefits of digitalization, it is necessary first to identify the differences in the concepts of digitalization and digitalization, or digitalization. Well, the first concept is definitely broader and can refer to larger areas, such as the company department, the entire company or even the whole country. Digitization consists in implementing a network infrastructure that connects group members and allows for exchange, access and creation of resources in electronic form. So far the positive impact of digitization are concerned, the number is simply endless now.s
The Transformations

It may consist in scanning paper documents and placing them in a dedicated place, for example a disc of a joint organization. Therefore, the company can be digitized, one of its components is the transfer of resources from physical to digital version, that is digitization. Therefore, it is a narrower concept implemented within the framework of digitization, but not only.
