These terms are often used interchangeably, but there are differences between them:

- Digitization: Transition from analog information to digital information and make that information available in digital format

- Digitalization: Leverage digitized information in processes, and optimize these processes

- Digital Transformation: Build on above concepts and leverage connected things to transform processes and operations to produce better outcomes
