Dematerialization and digitization

Dematerialization doesn't exclusively consist of IT activity designed to create a document primarily in a digital format, but also all those renewal processes that involve the abandonment of printed documents.
The results of the dematerialization process can range from the satisfaction of the technical and legal requirements for each type of electronic document produced up to practical aspects such as the reduction of management costs or the greater speed in the operations regulated by the various documents required.
Parallel to dematerialization, a transition of a document into its digital version, there are the digitalization processes that arise and remain in digital format and end with digital preservation, necessary for maintaining the documents for the time required by the various regulations in progress.
While the process of dematerialization involves the acquisition of documents through dedicated devices, such as scanners, or mobile devices, in a format that cannot be processed, digitization allows processing documents in XML format, useful for maximizing all the benefits of the new processes implemented in the company.
Both the dematerialization and the digitalization inevitably lead to the creation of a continuously expanding digital archive. If until a few years ago the problem was related to the physical space occupied by innumerable paper folders, today we talk about disk space, preferably virtualized and in all cases backed up. So, why not take advantage of the advent of the digital document not only for the benefit of the environment but also by making an enormous digital heritage available to the entire company, including presentations, images and videos?
