Digitisation is the practice of converting physical information into a digital (computer-readable format), by using digital technologies to modify the existing structure by enhancing the efficiency of an organisational process, foster reliability, and quality. This is a method of incorporating conventional records into a digitised form by eliminating redundancies and limiting the communications chain. This will help to improve accessibility and simplify better information exchange for users. The beginning of a digital revolution in any establishment is to appraise the manual methods with the view to improve and graduate to a user-friendly modern system. Digital workflow is a progressive, reliable arrangement of data, procedures, and responsibilities that make information is more permanent and management easy to access and enable the preservation of crucial data. This research set out to support workflow audit by revealing specific indicators to assist in processes that will

The essence of increasing the life span of information stored in papers containing resources of permanent value is to digitise. The pervasive and proliferating digital transformation requires organisations with the agility and the ability to react quickly to changes in the business environment [1]. Digitisation is an innovation brought about as a result of developments in computerised technology that can convert papers to an electronic format that is more permanent and devoid of environmental hazard that can eclipse the life span of information stored in the paper [2]. Theoretically, the procedure of digitisation entails converting an analogue image and other media its equivalent electronic format. In the context of this article, some of the vital issues like, the selection of documents, the scanning and image capture, arranging metadata and arranging for required hardware and software selection are

With the development of digitalization in full swing, many are pondering how the implementation of the new digital distruptive technologies will spur and inspire the creation of new jobs and destruction. The specific tasks that technologies take
