What is Digital Transformation?
Digital transformation converts information into a computer-readable format to digitally automate and execute business processes. It involves adopting digital tools that remove physical constraints to business operations while increasing security, transparency and productivity.
Digital transformation forges new business models from digital processes that can deliver better customer outcomes and promote a culture of efficiency.
Why a Digital Transformation Strategy is Important
By digitally transforming your processes, they scale independently of infrastructure and personnel. This suppleness allows you to elastically adjust your costs with your demand. You get the benefits of scale, without spending on physical growth.
Digital transformation yields enhanced visibility via reporting and recording metadata, ensuring impactful and measurable progress towards key business goals.
What are the Tools of Digital Transformation?

Modern Records Management
Records management involves storing, organising, and preserving business documents. Effective records management allows archived data to be recalled and used seamlessly in ongoing business operations.
Digital records management uses digitisation to enrich physical records with metadata to improve search efficiency. The embedding of metadata retains the context, origin, and authenticity of a record.
Hybrid solutions yield the best of both worlds, empowering businesses to manage large-scale digital transformation projects cost effectively.

EDMS are used to gain a productive edge through improving outcomes through collaboration, communication and customer service, increasing the pace of business cycles and generating a fast return on investment.
