Electronic to Digital

Originally a chip was designated for a device (card, digital accessory, mobile, IoT), for an application and to serve a single purpose. This is what we now call “Electronic”. The “digital transformation” is when all these components begin to create convergence between sectors, devices, applications and services. In other words, any device is a card, digital accessory, mobile and / or thing (IoT) will have the ability to access any of the services and / or applications in an automated, secure and efficient way, generating interoperability focused on the user / citizen / person as the central point of the processes.
