Data Management Capability Assessment
Transforming your data management, analytics, or AI program begins with understanding your current strengths and weaknesses. At Sandhill Consultants, we help you evaluate your data management and analytics capabilities through a structured approach based on the EDM Council’s DCAM® (Data Management Capability Assessment Model) Assessment. Our assessment methodology provides you with unique, tailored, quick-start projects and initiatives to build on the momentum gained by the assessment.
How We Help
- Evaluate Your Current Position: A DCAM assessment systematically evaluates your data management and analytics capabilities, focusing on areas like Data Strategy, Governance, Quality, Operations, and Analytics. This structured approach clarifies your organization’s current standing.
- Define Your Growth Path: The assessment highlights strengths and improvement areas, offering a gap analysis and prioritized recommendations to enhance your data management program.
- Collaborate for Success: This collaborative process engages stakeholders to ensure alignment, foster consensus, and drive best practices, building a strong data governance framework.

Top Benefits of a DCAM Assessment
- Establish a Benchmark for Your Organization: Understand your organization’s maturity level and how it compares to industry standards.
- Identify Strengths and Gaps: Pinpoint what’s working well and where improvements are needed within your data management program. Leverage previously unseen capabilities that are “ahead of the curve” and build on them.

- Drive Best Practices: Implement proven, industry-standard approaches that are aligned with core data management and analytics principles and practices.
