There is no clear moment in time when the Digital Age began, but around the beginning of the 1980s, a time when the world wide web coincidentally appeared, we entered a new era of digitization. According to Dr Martin Hilbert PhD., “We estimate the beginning of the “digital age” to be in 2002, when the world was first able to store more digital than analogue information in its technological tools. In the late 1980s, still less than 1% was in digital format, whereas in 2012, 99% of the world’s stored information was digital. During these decades, the world’s technological capacity to communicate and store information has grown 25% to 35% per year (doubling every 2.5-3 years).”
While the emergence of the digital era saw the development of many new businesses, it also presented the opportunity for many other existing businesses to streamline and improve the efficiency of their operations. This was especially so in the aerospace sector, and in particular the MRO environment. However there have been many challenges faced during this transitional period, primarily those involving the transition to paperless operations.
