Every company in every industry is now moving towards digitization. In fact every company’s top teams are expected to build adequate capabilities for their company to remain significant in the rapidly digitizing world of industry, achieve growth and fend off competitors. 
The world has seen a massive change in the way it works over the past few decades as technology has advanced and increased in utility within a vast array of fields and purposes. This digital transformation is the next step in what the initial promise of technology should always have been. What is digitization? Well, it is used in several meanings but in the context of business, it pertains to the creation of a digital version of analog or physical items such as paper documents, microfilm images, photographs and sound etc. It’s simply a conversion or representation of something non-digital in a digital format, which then becomes usable for computing systems for a number of utilities. It does not at all mean that the original documents etc shall be replaced but sometimes it does get destroyed or removed. For instance, you can destroy a document after it has been digitized in order to appease some legal requirements for the purpose of security. In another case, if some sound or motion is captured, the actual movement or sound disappears only to have been recorded in a digital form. It is in that form of capture where the imaging industry resides.
