Models for Determining the Reached Level of Digitalization

Abstract

Determining the level of digitalization is an important stage in the digitalization process of existing digital business processes as well as in the creation of new digital business processes or solutions. The aim of the research is to overview some popular models for determining digital maturity level and, on this basis, give some recommendations and guidelines for using the models in the digitalization of new business solutions. In order to achieve the goal, a few digital maturity models are presented: the “Digital Maturity Model” of Deloitte, the “Open Data Maturity Model” of the “Open Data Institute” and the “Open Digital Maturity Model” of the organization “Open ROADS”. These models are suitable as a starting point for determining the required degree or level of digitalization. On this basis, guidelines for the digitalization of new business solutions are proposed. It is possible to define and use a specialized system of indicators suitable for all business organizations operating in a certain branch of the economy. The purpose of this system of indicators is to measure the level of digitalization for the development of existing digital business processes.
