Abstract

Enterprises must abandon the previous foundations and completely transform processes and work models for the most effective use of new technologies and their prompt implementation in all areas of human. This process means phasing out obsolete technologies that can be expensive for businesses to maintain.

Digital transformation in the forestry sector of our country for the first time seriously began to be introduced back in the late 90s of the last century, when the forestry management information system (FMIS) was created.It was created as a multi-level, integrated, multi-purpose forest management system, forestry and forest resources. In May 2017, a decision was made to develop and introduce into industrial operation a unified state automated information system for accounting for timber and transactions with it (USAIS).This system will make it possible to present uniform requirements for timber accounting, control all stages of the movement of timber in the harvested form, using information only in electronic form.

In the hunting economic activity of our country, information technology allows you to pay fishing and hunting fees of the Republican state-public association “Belarusian society of hunters and fishermen”. There is a possibility of purchasing hunting permits without first visiting a hunting farm, you can remotely through geoinformation systems (up-to-date maps-schemes of hunting grounds of all hunting farms are loaded) to get acquainted with the hunting area, etc.

Thus, the process of introducing modern digital technologies means a gradual abandonment of outdated technologies, an increase in the environmental and economic efficiency of the use of forest and hunting resources, as well as a change in culture, which should now support the acceleration of processes provided by digital transformation.
