Data Management Capability Assessment Model (DCAM)
Announcement: EDM Council Best Practices Agenda, DCAM v1.0
DCAM is the EDM Council’s synthesis of data management best practices. DCAM defines the capabilities required to establish, enable and sustain a functional data management discipline. DCAM is organized to reflect the interdependent flow data management processes and addresses the strategies, organizational structures, technology and operational best practices needed to drive data management. Version 1.0 reflects the feedback from our membership review process. Significant changes have been made to incorporate the concepts associated with “control environment” into the model and to ensure that DCAM is fully mapped to the data architecture, data quality and governance concepts expressed in BCBS 239.
