Summary/Abstract: Today, online technology such as broadband connectivity, wireless mobility, cloud computing, e-commerce, social media, and sensors are quickly transforming the world – creating new and innovative ways to work, play, consume, interact and communicate. These activities comprise the digitization process – pervasive adoption of a wide variety of digital, real time, and net-worked technologies, that enable people, companies, and governments, and even machines to stay connected to another. Since the level of digitization and its socio-political consequences vary from nation to nation a digitization performance index is being developed to offer starting points which enable politicians and governments to steer the digitization processes.
