Six dimensions

Four maturity stages

  1. 1
    Manual
    Work relies on paper, spreadsheets and personal knowledge.
  2. 2
    Digitised
    Digital tools are in use but not yet connected.
  3. 3
    Connected
    Systems and departments exchange data end to end.
  4. 4
    Intelligent
    Data and AI actively support decisions and operations.

The staging follows the approach of the acatech Industrie 4.0 Maturity Index, but it is an independent, simplified self-assessment and not an evaluation by acatech.

About the initiative

The check is backed by Nasscom member companies that visited Germany in 2026 as part of a Nasscom delegation and want to deepen their exchange with the German Mittelstand.

You use the benchmark completely anonymously. Whether you want to talk to anyone afterwards is entirely your decision.

What is stored and what is not

We store anonymously

  • Your sector and size band
  • Your answers and the scores calculated from them
  • The date (no time of day)
  • The campaign that invited you, if any

We do not store

  • Name, email address or company name
  • IP address or device information
  • Your PDF report
  • Cookies or tracking data

Your anonymous answers feed into the sector comparison. A comparison from real data appears only once a sector and size band holds five answers, so that no conclusions can be drawn about individual companies.
