Assessments are tools for evaluating the aspects necessary to undertake or complete digital transformation, innovation or sustainability paths.

Usually the starting point for a company is to perform the Test 4.0, also called Digital Readiness Assessment (DRA), which identifies the level of digitalisation of the company by measuring its digital maturity in all the areas in which it operates. It is a free and repeatable tool, which highlights excellences and critical issues on the basis of which SMILE-DIH can provide an Action Plan to be undertaken.

Subsequently it is possible to obtain the support of SMILE-DIH to understand and explore other aspects (such as Cybersecurity).
