computerize
This term describes the transition from physical, paper-based, or manual labor to digital automation. It carries a connotation of modernization and efficiency, often implying a systemic overhaul of how data is stored or processed. While it is common in business and administrative contexts, it can sometimes sound slightly dated, as modern systems are often assumed to be digital from inception.
In professional settings, the word suggests a strategic shift toward digitalization to eliminate human error and increase speed. It is distinct from simply using a computer; it refers to the act of redesigning a workflow so that the computer becomes the primary engine of the process.
