Enterprise Architecture Capability Assessment
Our enterprise architecture capability maturity model (EACMM) assessment service helps clients evaluate the maturity of their enterprise architecture capability.
The EACMM is an independent evaluation designed to improve the overall architecture capability. The assessment is developed over 3 phases:
- The Enterprise Architecture Maturity Model;
- Enterprise Architecture Characteristics at Different Maturity Levels and Performance Criteria;
- Enterprise Architecture Capability Maturity Model Assessment Scorecard.
Recommendations for each assessment area are provided to establish a route for increasing maturity, to a desired target maturity level.
Why Would You Need This Service?
