Use our Orchestration, Automation and Virtualisation (OAV) Maturity Model to position yourself on your OAV journey

Get a quick look at your OAV progress in four main areas and subsections

Previous research on the status of OAV in the European NREN community has shown significant differences among institutions in scope. The differences can be observed at the level of user groups and use cases, implementation approaches, levels, tools, systems, processes … either in the area of orchestration, automation or virtualisation. Such differences made it hard, if not impossible to compare different organisations and institutions. Thus, defining a maturity model that can be used regardless of an institution type imposed itself as a natural solution.

The first step when defining the maturity model was to explore existing maturity models and their fit into the community and all dimensions that needed to be explored, to conclude that existing models do not present a suitable fit. Therefore, a new model is developed. The dimensions in scope are: Architecture & Technology, Processes & Services, Vision & Strategy, and People & Organisation, each of them considering six possible stages marked from the lowest to the most advanced stage as none, crawl, walk, run, fly, and energise.
