Digital transformation and numerical transformation: what are the differences?

Digital transformation, sometimes called numerical transformation, or digital factory, brings together the entire transformation process of a company in the integration of digital technologies associated with its field of activity.

What are the differences between digital transformation, numerical transformation, or even digital factory?

There is none except for me … because each word would be like an invitation to take a step, like a step of maturity.

The only real difference could be the degree of transformation in which the organization or the management are involved.

As an evolution from a local environment to a global environment. Maybe it could just be called digital, when the business begins to transition. The company with a website is gradually integrating social networks into its communication.

As the company evolves, it will migrate all of its information systems to a Digital workplace, a space where mobile employees will have access to all the files and information necessary to carry out their work, even remotely.

The company will then integrate cutting-edge technologies such as connected objects, robots, AI – artificial intelligence. It will then become a Digital factory, company 4.0.
