OAV Maturity Model

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

Our model defines four main dimensions that describe different aspects of OAV, each further specified using subdimensions that highlight the important OAV areas of each dimension. The level of OAV adoption and management is described using six maturity stages starting from no OAV adoption to cutting-edge OAV implementations. The short and long descriptions of stages for each subdimensions help quickly identify the current status in the organisation and the main tasks that need to be accomplished in order to advance to the next level.
