Going through this many-steps process of shooting on film, developing the film, scanning the film, and post processing in digital allows to get the maximum out of any photograph. The maximum by means of resolution, by means of detail, by means of detail sharpness, by means of color tonality, by means of contrast, and dynamic range.
Using a flatbed scanner for digitising film allows to go to image resolution for a medium format photograph of more than 200 megapixels. This is especially used when producing large prints with a high requirement to detail and sharpness.
There are many options for film scanning such as standard flatbed scanners or specialised film scanners. For a great overview have a look at the buying guide from B&H Photo: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/explora/photography/buying-guide/film-scanners
