Conduct a DCAM Assessment

Are you getting the most out of your data and analytics?

Evaluate and benchmark your organization’s data and analytics program against industry best practices with the most highly adopted framework in the marketplace, used by leading organizations and global regulators.

Know Where You Stand

Transforming your data and analytics program starts with understanding your current strengths and weaknesses.

Performing a DCAM® assessment is the best way to evaluate internal data management and analytics capabilities – and ensure your organization will be ready to navigate modern data challenges, including AI. Using the EDM Association’s DCAM (Data Management Capability Assessment Model), the assessment is a structured evaluation of your data management program, capabilities and dependencies. It is based on core data management and analytics principles and achieved via consensus across involved stakeholders. The result is a formal review of your data management program including a gap analysis and a list of agreed priorities.
