European Digital Resiliency Index

October 2020

IDC’s Digital Resiliency Investment Index provides a composite view of digital resiliency investment among all organizations worldwide and tracks targeted investments as a predictor of future levels of resiliency. It is comprised of two factors – digital core investments and digital innovation investments: together, they make up the Digital Resiliency Index Score.


The extent to which organizations are investing in IT, digital transformation, cloud, security, and remote worker technologies – the core elements needed for digital resiliency.
The extent to which organizations are allocating tech investments towards accelerating the business versus adapting to the crisis.
The combination of digital core and digital innovation investments.

2020: The Year That Redefined Resiliency

Listen to the Webinar

As we head into the final stretch of 2020 — a year of profound change — the effects of the events from the past seven months are sinking in. European countries are knuckling down to control an increase in infections, while at the same time preparing for the critical final part of the year in terms of health, economic, and the business outlook. Despite the fact that initial economic indicators for the region are now partially improving, continued restrictions and looming lockdowns mean that signs of recovery are still very fragile.

In this webinar, IDC’s Philip Carter, Giulia Carosella, and Andrea Siviero answer the following questions:

  • What have we learned from the past seven months?
  • What does digital resiliency mean for organizations?
  • How will the year end, and what should we be focusing on to capture future opportunities?
