Digital Maturity Assessment (DMA)

An essential factor in the digital transformation of public authorities and SMEs

The DMA is the mandatory assessment tool for projects financed under national digitalisation programmes in 2026, measuring the level of digitalisation achieved through implemented hardware and software investments. BEIA provides the digital maturity audit at the three key stages: at the start, during, and at the completion of project implementation.

1
Initial Assessment

Establishing the baseline digital maturity level before the investment is implemented

2
Monitoring

Intermediate assessment during implementation to measure digitalisation progress

3
Final Audit

Full assessment at project completion; official digital maturity report issued

Why DMA is Required

Within projects financed under the national programmes available in 2026, aimed at increasing digitalisation and digital transformation of SMEs and local public authorities in Romania, a digital maturity audit is required at the beginning, during, and at the completion of the investment implementation.

The digital maturity audit is an instrument for evaluating the impact of project investments and enables measurement of the digitalisation level achieved following the implementation of the financed hardware and software solutions.

Scope of Service

The DMA service covers a comprehensive organisational assessment, including:

  • Evaluation of the digital maturity level of the organisation (SME / local public authority)
  • Analysis of the adoption rate of the implemented technologies
  • Assessment of the digitalisation of operational processes
  • Determination of the impact of investments on the organisation's activity
  • Production of a final audit report
Benefits
  • Identification of the current digital maturity level
  • Validation of results achieved through the project
  • Evidence of benefits generated by the investments made
  • Formulation of recommendations for future digital development
  • Provision of supporting documentation for project monitoring and sustainability reporting
Deliverables
  • Digital Maturity Audit Report
  • Digital maturity assessment sheet
  • Conclusions and recommendations for further digital development
