Digital Check 2026 – How companies can realistically assess their digital maturity

Why a digital check? 

The Digital Check is a thorough assessment of your digital maturity. It provides transparency about strengths, gaps, and risks, prioritizes measures, and delivers a robust roadmap. It is an objective basis for decision-making, especially for SMEs: Where is it really worth investing? Which quick wins have an immediate impact? Which risks should be addressed first? 

 

Your added value at a glance 

  • Clarity: Strategy, processes, IT landscape, and organization are consistently evaluated. 
  • Focus: Quick wins and strategic projects are prioritized according to their impact. 
  • Benchmarking: Comparison with industry standards and best practices. 

 

This is how the Digital Check works 

  1. Kickoff: Goals, scope, stakeholders, schedule. 
  1. Data collection: Completing questionnaires for IT and specialist departments 
  1. Interviews & Workshops: Questions, clarification of details, understanding 
  1. Conclusion: Management summary, recommendations for action, and roadmap 
  1. Optional: Support with implementation, consulting 

 

What is being evaluated? 

In the Digital Check, we examine various areas of IT/digitalization. 

  • General strategy on IT and digitalization, e.g. 
  • Added value of digitization / IT 
  • business models 
  • Infrastructure, e.g. 
  • How is the infrastructure set up (on-premises, cloud, data center, etc.)? 
  • How is IT structured? 
  • Workplace, e.g. 
  • What hardware is used at the workstations? 
  • Meeting room facilities 
  • License management, hardware and software procurement 
  • Communication/Collaboration, e.g. 
  • Collaboration solutions in use? 
  • Digital Work Concepts / Guidelines 
  • Application 
  • What software is used and why? 
  • What software is on the agenda? 
  • Governance / Service Management 
  • How is the IT service organized? What digital support is available? 
  • Is there an IT policy? 
  • What measures are actively being taken to promote cybersecurity? 

 

Conclusion 

A well-designed digital check provides insights into the current state of IT/digitalization. With the help of best practices and experience gained from various IT projects, recommendations for action tailored to the company are developed and anchored in a roadmap. This enables the company to plan for the digital future.
