The Bitkom Digital Office Index (DOI)

In a comprehensive and representative study, Bitkom asked representatives of more than 1,100 companies how far along their processes are already digitised. The result of this study - the Bitkom Digital Office Index - was first presented at CeBIT 2016 and shows explicitly that the journey to a ‘digital office’ in Germany is just (or already) halfway-through. At a scale from 0 for ‘not digitised at all’ to 100 for ‘completely digitised’, the current Digital Office Index (DOI) accomplished a value of 50. This value is being calculated based on three areas: the personnel and technical digitisation requirements, the digitisation progress as well as the impact and perspectives of digitisation.

Digital Office Index User-types

Based on the results, four user-types with similar indicators were identified:

  • 9% of the participants can be considered as digitisation pioneers with a DOI value of 64
  • A digitisation progress that is above average can be certified to 41% of the participants, who achieved an index value of 54
  • 28% of the participants have an index value of 48 and thus, a digitisation that is below average
  • With an index value of 39, 23% of the companies are categorised as laggards

Pioneers

Only 9% of all companies with more than 20 employees count as pioneers by achieving a DOI of 64 points.

Above-average

This group (41%) represents an index value that is above-average with 54 points.

Below-average

28% of the companies did not achieve more than 48 points and thus, only got an index value below-average.

Laggards

23% of the companies belong to the group 'laggards' with a value of 39.
