DCAM® (Data Management Capability Assessment Model) is a framework developed by the Enterprise Data Management (EDM) Council. It outlines the essential components for effective data management and serves as a powerful tool for assessing your organization’s data capabilities. 

•  Guide your data management initiatives with a structured and industry-recognized framework. 

• Evaluate your current capabilities based on perception or evidence to identify strengths and areas for improvement.

•  Benchmark your performance against industry standards using the EDM Council’s global dataset. 

•  Drive continuous improvement by tracking your progress and demonstrating capability enhancements over time.
