Digitisation means different things to different people.
For Documentation departments, it often means tackling the backlog of items that do
not exist in any form in the CMS, and to enrich existing data in ways that support the
organisation’s goals.
For Media departments, it is the process of creating digital media assets
representing items in the collection, along with the associated technical metadata.
The reality is it is a combination of both.
What is Digitisation?
