Advantages of Digitization

The Benefits of Digitization. Digitization is the process of converting analog information formats like audio, images, videos, drawings, text, etc., into a digital format. Digitization doesn’t necessarily have to replace the original documents, audio, images but it can complement or replace the original analog format. For instance, sometimes the original document may get destroyed pertaining to legal requirements and sometimes it may disappear by itself (For example, the sound and motion in a presentation capture). Basically, digitization is the electronic representation of the source which could be later accessed through computers or other digital devices. In digitization information is stored in binary codes and the process can either be managed through scanning or with digital cameras. It is the automation of paper-based or manual processes.
 Advantages of Digitization
● Perhaps the most important advantage of digitization is that it frees the document from conventional access limitations. 
● Digitization ensures better preservation, better security and better availability. ● Unlike the traditional storage limitations, for digital data there is no physical limits for storage. 
● Digitized data could be accessed through the Internet which ensures a 24/7 availability. 
● It is also a great preservation tool. At Ninestars, we have digitized fragile documents from 1600s ensuring their longevity and historic value by providing repair to the original documents and by preserving digital copies for future usage. 
● Digitization also helps save space. We have worked with numerous libraries around the world for digitization projects saving enormous space and preserving and archiving old books, texts and manuscripts. 
● Instead of going through hundreds of books to find what one is looking for, information could be easily retrieved from digital copies using keywords. We at Ninestars specialize in adding indexing and descriptive metadata through our state-of-the-art digitization process. 
● Digital files could be accessed by many people at once which wouldn’t be possible with a non-digital copy. Digitization also allows you resource sharing and linking possibilities. 
● With digitization, the digital copy can be reproduced with same exactness any number of times. Tactical Advantages of Digitization The rapid technological development has brought about an accelerated pace of innovation which requires every business to have optimum efficiency. Digitization can help organizations improve core business efficiencies. Some of the tactical benefits of digitization are: 
● Digitization helps in eliminating transcription errors. 
● It helps in improving accessibility to information thus minimizing informational silos.

Digitization, less commonly digitalization, is the process of converting information into a digital (i.e. computer-readable) format, in which the information is organized into bits. The result is the representation of an object, image, sound, document or signal (usually an analog signal) by generating a series of numbers that describe a discrete set of its points or samples. The result is called digital representation or, more specifically, a digital image, for the object, and digital form, for the signal. In modern practice, the digitized data is in the form of binary numbers, which facilitate computer processing and other operations, but, strictly speaking, digitizing simply means the conversion of analog source material into a numerical format; the decimal or any other number system that can be used instead. Digitization is of crucial importance to data processing, storage and transmission, because it "allows information of all kinds in all formats to be carried with t

What is Machine Learning ?

From IBM Deep Blue beating Gary Kasparov to Google’s Alpha Go winning the GO games, machine learning has evolved with tremendous speed and proven its potential to uplift the business scenario. If we look at the timeline of Machine Learning and the promises it keeps for the future we can interpret that there will be no option for organizations but to get involved in this technology in order to stay on top of things. If you want to invest in a tech that is so dynamic in nature, it’s integral, dive deep to understand everything it can do for your organization. What is Machine Learning? Machine learning stands at the crux of Artificial Intelligence and enables a machine to function like the human brain which can self-learn from experiences and enrich its analyzing capacity with every new experience. In machine learning mechanism, the machine when exposed to various data sets learns from it and with every iteration can give accurate answers to a specific problem. T
