Digital Transformation
Digital Transformation is the process of updating how organizations work by replacing old paper-based systems with modern computer technology. Think of it like upgrading from a paper address book to a smartphone contacts list, but on a much bigger scale for entire organizations. In government services, this often means creating online portals where citizens can submit forms, make payments, or access services without visiting a physical office. It's about making services faster, easier to use, and available 24/7. When candidates mention this term, they're usually talking about projects where they helped modernize how an organization operates.
