The document discusses the evolution of IT competency frameworks in Europe. Specifically, it describes how the EUCIP framework was not widely adopted but was succeeded by the e-Competence Framework (e-CF) which has become the official European standard. e-CF defines 40 competencies across 5 domains and levels of proficiency. The document then outlines e-CFplus, a new certification system and services based on e-CF that aims to build on the previous EUCIP system. It also discusses the development of e-CFplus fundamentals and ITAF profiles that incorporate a common European IT body of knowledge.
