Several existing models have been analyzed and the most important areas evaluated. After all, the model which has been developed suggests to analyze nine areas of the organization: strategy, technology, products, people, customer experience, leadership, culture, operations, and governance. For each area a capability level can be achieved for the organization. The new perspective which this model includes is the customer view and his expectations of the service. The same areas are evaluated but from the point of view of the customer and along a different scale, which is a progression scale. The combination of the achievements in the five capability levels and the four progression levels results in a final maturity level which indicates to what extend the IT supplier has digitalized his organization and supports his customers digitalizing their business.
