computerizzato

Computerizzato is an Italian adjective meaning computerized or computer-assisted. It describes processes, systems, products, or environments that operate with the use of computers or digital technology rather than by manual means. The term is used across sectors such as industry, administration, healthcare, and education to indicate automation, data processing, or enhanced accuracy provided by computer systems. The corresponding noun for the process is computerizzazione, and related phrases include sistemi computerizzati, processi computerizzati, and archivi computerizzati.

Form and usage: the masculine singular is computerizzato; feminine singular computerizzata. The masculine plural is computerizzati; feminine plural computerizzate. The word stems from computare ('to compute') plus the agentive suffix -izzato. It is closely related to informatica (information technology) and to terms like digitalizzato and informatizzato, which may be used depending on context and emphasis.

Examples and implications: a 'sistema computerizzato' may manage inventory in a warehouse, a 'cartella clinica computerizzata' records patient data, and 'processi amministrativi computerizzati' streamline bureaucratic procedures. Computerizzato also relates to broader social and economic effects of digitization, such as improved efficiency, data accessibility, and security considerations, including data protection and system reliability.
