Financial institutions are continuously striving to improve their technology, operations and business processes with the hopes of positively impacting the firm's revenue, risk exposure and/or cost base. In fact, to aid this effort, many institutions use 'Maturity Models' to help benchmark their current capabilities and plan the target state for their front line business and supporting functions. Data management has not escaped this analysis. Several maturity models exist for this discipline. In fact, a majority of these models are naturally similar in describing both - the various categories and disciplines which should be closely examined and monitored and the level of maturity and characteristics which best describe each. Maturity models are very helpful in improving the effectiveness of business and management processes. The most noteworthy being the software development maturity model, which is used to develop and refine an organization's software development process based on the Software Engineering Institute's (SEI) Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI), which is the successor to the 1984, the Capability Maturity Model (CMM). Implementing and operating EDM systems and processes can be challenging. To be successful, financial institutions need to objectively assess the maturity of their capabilities and chart a course of incremental improvements aligned with their business priorities. Data Management Capability Maturity Model is both comprehensive and designed specifically for Data Management.
