Half of Spanish companies have a medium-low level of digital maturity

Excelia, a Spanish consulting, technology and professional services firm, has launched its new report today Digital Pulse 2025: Digital Maturity Barometer of Spanish Companies, in which it is revealed that more than half of the professionals surveyed (54.5%) consider that their organization is at a medium-low level of digital maturity, while only 15.9% rate it as very advanced.

The study, based on responses from over 400 professionals from Spanish companies of varying sizes and sectors, confirms that digitalization in Spain is progressing, but still exhibits inequalities depending on company size and activity. Document management and digital signatures are among the most widespread solutions, with an adoption rate of 64.8%, while CRM and cybersecurity and access management systems also show high usage, at 62.5%. Meanwhile, systems geared towards planning and advanced analysis, such as Business Intelligence tools (50%) or process automation/RPA solutions (43.2%), have significant implementation, although still lagging behind basic systems.

Digital maturity is consolidating its position as a strategic factor for competitiveness, according to the Excelia report. In fact, 70.51% of professionals believe that advanced digitalization makes the difference between growth and falling behind, considering it key to opening new markets and competing on equal footing with international companies. Despite this, one in four companies does not consider advancing their digital transformation a priority, according to the surveyed professionals.

To thrive in this environment, training remains essential. Data from the Excelia study indicates that 65.1% of the professionals in the sample consider their company's workforce to be at a medium/low level of digital readiness. Despite this, 22.5% of companies offer very little training in this area to their employees, and 31.2% only offer courses occasionally, generally when a new tool is introduced.

“Spanish companies have made progress in digitizing basic processes, but the adoption of advanced technologies, such as comprehensive automation or Artificial Intelligence, remains limited. The real challenge now is to transform these operational advances into intelligent digital capabilities that allow organizations to make data-driven decisions and compete in international markets.”, points out Raúl Candela, Partner & Managing Director of Excelia, which adds: “The digital readiness of teams remains insufficient: training and empowering professionals is not optional, but a strategic requirement to accelerate digital transformation and generate a real impact on the business.”.
