What's the difference between digitalization and informatization?

Informatization: refers to the establishment of an information collection system through a computer, the processing of traditional business processes and data through the information system, and then the application of computer technology to individual resources or processes in combination with the information processing results to achieve the effect of improving internal efficiency.

If you want to use an example to illustrate it, simply speaking, just like a traditional taxi, passengers wave at the roadside, and the empty driver stops when he sees it. The route is generally chosen by the driver himself, and there are driver management systems, vehicle control systems and so on behind the taxi.

Digitalization: refers to the technical support and ability used in enterprise informatization construction, which enables all internal and external resources and the whole business process to interact with technology, and analyzes and processes the interaction of internal and external data, thus changing the traditional business operation mode.

If you want to use an example to illustrate it, simply put, the online car platform will move the traditional taxi recruitment process to a digital platform, and passengers can get a car on the online car APP, and the owner will grab the order through the mobile phone to serve the passengers. At the same time, the travel route, arrival time and approximate cost have been planned on the online car-calling app.
