Digitalization

According to Gartner (http://www.gartner.com/it-glossary/digitalization/) "Digitalization is the use of digital technologies to change a business model and provide new revenue and value-producing opportunities; it is the process of moving to a digital business."

This definition focusses on the management or business perspective and can easily be widened onto a whole industry or economy and be analyzed in an economic way.

One of the first issues to solve then is how to measure the degree of digitalization of an industry or economy.

Why a slice of Raspberry Pi is good for Britain's digital economy

The Raspberry Pi is an essential component within education for a digital economy:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2016/09/08/why-a-slice-of-raspberry-pi-is-good-for-britains-digital-economy/

With more than 10 million units sold in 4.5 years, a great supporting community, and it's own magazine "The MagPi" in english and since a few days also in german it is valuable factor in learning the skills for a digital economy and the basis for projects defining digitalization.

The british Raspberry Pi Foundation is the driving force behind all this, more information on their website raspberrypi.org. 

Seven Questions for Bill McDermott (CEO SAP)

http://digitalrelevant.com/allgemein/seven-questions-for-bill-mcdermott-ceo-sap/

Digitalization and Security

In 2015 "The healthcare industry was the one most frequently attacked, speeding straight past financial services and manufacturing" according to IBM: https://public.dhe.ibm.com/common/ssi/ecm/se/en/sej03320usen/SEJ03320USEN.PDF

An important task for the tech part in digitalization is therefore obvious: providing adequate concepts and measures for securing the whole economy against the negative consequences of attacks on a global scale, not only per industry.
