HR leaders often ask us a fundamental question before starting their digital transformation: "Where do we actually stand right now?" This consistent theme, emerging from hundreds of conversations with HR teams, revealed a crucial need: before implementing new technology, organisations need clear visibility of their current digital capabilities.
This insight led us to create Index by Udder, a comprehensive assessment tool that breaks down HR digital maturity into seven core areas. Built on our experience implementing HR technology across diverse organisations, Index helps leaders identify their most impactful opportunities and build actionable paths toward digital excellence.
Why We Created Index by Udder
Through years of implementing HR technology solutions, we've observed that successful digital transformation always starts with clear self-awareness. Whether migrating complex HR systems or implementing new recruitment technology, understanding the current state is crucial for making informed decisions about the future.
Index by Udder emerged from this experience. We created it to give HR leaders the clarity needed to make confident decisions about their digital journey—whether they're just beginning or looking to optimise existing systems. It's a practical tool that transforms complex digital assessment into actionable insights, drawing from our experience with organisations of every size and sector.
