Computerization is the process of changing a job, a system, or a whole workplace so that computers store the information, run the work, or control how things are done. A shop’s computerization might mean stock is tracked on a screen instead of in a book; a factory’s might mean machines are run by a computer. The word names the change itself, and sometimes the time after it: “after computerization” means after that change has happened. It is a formal word for companies, governments, and news reports. Though actually, people also stretch it for almost any move from paper to screens, even when “control by computer” is a bit grand for “we keep the files on a laptop now.” In British spelling you will also see computerisation. The matching verb is .
電腦化（台灣這樣說；中國大陸也常說電腦化，較正式的書面有時寫成計算機化）
組成computer + -ization (“the process of making it so”). Computer is compute + -er. Compute comes from French computer, from Latin computō / computāre, “to calculate.”
