Enterprise Data & Analytics Maturity Model

A structured framework to assess, benchmark, and advance your organization's data capabilities

WHAT IS IT?

A Data Maturity Model is a structured framework for measuring data management capabilities across multiple dimensions. It provides a roadmap from ad-hoc practices to optimized, data-driven operations.

  • Capability assessment across dimensions
  • Current state vs. target state gap analysis
  • Industry benchmarking comparison
  • Prioritized improvement roadmap

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?

Organizations at higher maturity levels achieve 2.5x greater ROI from data investments and 3x faster time to insights. Maturity assessments help prioritize investments and track progress objectively.

  • Objective progress measurement
  • Investment prioritization
  • Executive communication tool
  • Competitive benchmarking

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Assessment evaluates multiple dimensions including strategy, governance, architecture, quality, and culture. Each dimension is scored against defined criteria and compared against industry benchmarks.

  • Multi-dimensional assessment
  • Stakeholder interviews & surveys
  • Evidence-based scoring
  • Gap analysis & recommendations
