There&#8217;s nothing we do that doesn&#8217;t involve some form of technology.<\/p>\n<p>For companies, this means increased efficiency and profitability. Customers have come to expect digitalization because it\u2019s convenient, meaning that technological progress today is largely driven by competition. Who can provide a better customer experience? Who can react faster? Who can handle more in a shorter time?<\/p>\n<p>To map out your path toward <a href=\"https:\/\/www.similarweb.com\/blog\/research\/company-research\/digital-maturity-model\/\">digital maturity<\/a>, you first need to know where you are \u2014 much like a GPS, which can&#8217;t tell you where to drive until it first identifies your exact location.<\/p>\n<p>A maturity index lets you pinpoint your company&#8217;s level of digital capability so you&#8217;ll know where to put your effort.<\/p>\n<p>To understand how different indices work, let\u2019s first understand what digital maturity means. Take a look at some of the key definitions below.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-101397\" src=\"https:\/\/www.similarweb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/new-designs-for-digital-maturity-blog-1.png\" alt=\"definition of digital maturity index\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.similarweb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/new-designs-for-digital-maturity-blog-1.png 960w, https:\/\/www.similarweb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/new-designs-for-digital-maturity-blog-1-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.similarweb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/new-designs-for-digital-maturity-blog-1-768x432.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The question isn\u2019t if, but how digital technologies are implemented and affect operations and outcomes. What matters is how the use of digitalization frames business activities \u2014 we&#8217;re looking at results and initiative as much as capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s difficult to come up with a standard digital maturity assessment template for all companies. There are several approaches to measure your digital maturity. Let\u2019s dive into the details of some of our favorites:<\/p>\n<h3>Google and Boston Consulting Group (BCG) Digital Maturity Model<\/h3>\n<p>Probably the most well-known digital maturity index was developed by Google and Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and names four stages: nascent, emerging, connected, and multi-moment.

Companies in this stage use digital technologies, but their data is managed separately, and they\u2019re usually monitoring only one or two data sources at a time.<\/li>\n<li><b>Emerging<\/b> &#8211; channel-centric, tracking conversations and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.similarweb.com\/blog\/research\/market-research\/engagement-rate\/\">engagement rate<\/a>.

Data-driven business processes and the connection of online and offline datasets allow you to link efforts to outcomes. Data has become the backbone of your business.<\/li>\n<li><b>Multi-Moment<\/b> &#8211; embedded digital intelligence. You\u2019ve achieved true data-driven marketing, custom attribution, and offline data integration.
