But do we fully understand what it means to our business today, why the pressure to go digital is becoming higher now and what new possibilities we can bring to life with digital technologies? Let\u2019s start with the fundamentals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"b80c\"><span id=\"understanding-the-word-digital\"><em>Understanding the word \u201cdigital\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"7d84\">Our human experience of life, experience of the real world, what we see through our eyes, hear through our ears, feel through our touch is all \u201canalog\u201d information in the form of waves, be it sound waves or light waves or heat waves. Human body is a great receptor of \u201canalog\u201d information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"b29d\">For most people today \u2014 \u201canalog\u201d information is just \u201cnon-digital\u201d information. We\u2019d say \u201canalog\u201d information is the original,&nbsp;<strong>raw source of information of a real-world moment, in an incredibly high resolution.<\/strong>Every single \u201creal-world moment\u201d holds a large amount of information in the form of analog waves (waves of sound, light, temperature, pressure etc).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/codewavetechnologies\/image\/upload\/v1662633716\/digital_first_business.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"779d\">If we had to capture one real-world moment \u2014 say, a couple proposing to each other, on a beach, with birds chirping; earlier an analog camera was used to record the scene onto a photographic film; sounds were recorded on tapes \/ vinyl discs. Storing large amounts of information, from various moments in life, on physical storage devices like films and tapes wasn\u2019t a scalable idea. Also, with analog storage, there was no means of encrypting the information to keep it secure &amp; guard privacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"bd65\"><span id=\"the-digital-disruption\"><em>The \u201cdigital\u201d disruption<\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"1efe\">When the \u201cdigital\u201d revolution happened (roughly post 1960), it fundamentally changed the way we captured a real-world moment and replayed it later.&nbsp;<strong>A real-world moment captured digitally, is a trimmed version of an \u201canalog real-world\u201d moment.<\/strong>&nbsp;Waves are converted into numbers, more precisely into binary information (0 &amp; 1).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"2c78\">Photos on films, are now being stored as JPEG files, Sounds as MP3s. During this conversion, from analog to digital format \u2014 some information loss happens, as the original \/ analog waves are curved; digital information would let go of the curves, take just the straight lines,&nbsp;<strong>trying to approximate values.<\/strong>&nbsp;Hence, digitally stored information can never be 100% same as the original (just like how a virtual chat can never match an in person chat), however the resolution we have with digital information today seems to be good enough, to meet business needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"c6cb\">Also digitally stored information can be easily encrypted and decrypted when needed, bringing in high levels of data security and privacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"fdcd\">For a business to be digital, it means to gain ability to intensify the experience of real-world moments, for people coming in touch with the brand, by continuously learning from data. This is achieved by creating digital touch-points for users \u2014 for example: a mobile app having context rich conversations with users, understanding users, continuously learning from data and intelligently personalizing the customer experience to create higher value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/codewavetechnologies\/image\/upload\/v1662633717\/digitisation_pwc_stats_for_digital_first_business.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"8026\"><em>Source:&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwc.com\/gx\/en\/industries\/industries-4.0\/landing-page\/industry-4.0-building-your-digital-enterprise-april-2016.pdf?source=post_page---------------------------\"><em>PWC<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1ce5\"><span id=\"why-digital-transformation-is-a-need-for-businesses-today\"><em>Why digital transformation is a need for businesses today?<\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"c186\">We\u2019re living in a \u201cdigital information age\u201d, where&nbsp;<strong>businesses are increasingly wanting to scale faster<\/strong>&nbsp;without physical barriers, better capture real-world moments, replay that information, analyze it, derive insights from it, predict the future, visualize it and take actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"a3d6\">Today one can carry a pocket-sized disc that carries terabytes of digital information, compressed and stored.

Bots do it so perfectly that it\u2019s almost hard to imagine, a human agent processing so much data and coming up with a recommendation on the spot, during a conversation with the user.
