Assessment Basics
1. What is DCMM?
The Information Software Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Standard Technology Management Department of the State Administration for Market Regulation established the National Beacon Committee Big Data Standard Working Group in 2014 to engage in standardization work in the national big data field and be responsible for the centralized work of ISO/IEC JTC1/WG9 international standards. In the year when the working group was established, the DCMM national standard project was established, and the development work was officially launched. After nearly four years of standard development and test verification, it was officially released on March 15, 2018. It is a summary and improvement of the best practices in the field of data management in my country.
DCMM is the national standard of "Data Management Capability Maturity Assessment Model" (GB/T 36073-2018), and its English name is Data management Capability Maturity Model.
DCMM is the first national standard officially released in the field of data management in my country. It aims to help enterprises use advanced data management concepts and methods to establish and evaluate their own data management capabilities, continuously improve data management organizations, procedures and systems, and give full play to the role of data in promoting The value of enterprises in the development of informatization, digitalization and intelligence.
The positioning and function of DCMM
2. What is the evaluation model of DCMM?
The DCMM national standard combines the characteristics of each stage of data lifecycle management, analyzes and summarizes data management capabilities according to organization, system, process, and technology, and extracts 8 major capability domains for organizational data management, and conducts an analysis of each capability domain. Classification of secondary ability items (28 ability items) and development levels (5 levels), introduction of related functions and formulation of evaluation indicators (441 indicators).
3. What are the levels of DCMM assessment?
DCMM divides the maturity of data management capabilities into five levels, from low to high, they are initial level (level 1), managed level (level 2), robust level (level 3), quantitative management level (level 4) and optimized Level (5 levels), different levels represent different levels of maturity of enterprise data management and application.
4. What are the differences and differences between DCMM and other conventional systems
Compared with ISO and CMMI, DCMM has a wider and more industrialized evaluation object; second, the evaluation content focuses on the data management capabilities of enterprises and organizations; third, the evaluation role helps enterprises and organizations improve the core driving force of digital transformation.
5. What are the differences and connections between DCMM and foreign DAMA?
The DAMA body of knowledge is a set of theoretical frameworks for data governance. Its architecture is similar to PMI's PMP, and its content is very detailed. In the process of compiling DCMM, it also fully absorbed the advantages of DAMA, and discarded the content that did not conform to the actual development of Chinese enterprises.
From the perspective of the enterprise's own management, it is possible to choose either the DAMA system or the DCMM system, but at present, the domestic government and enterprises have more publicity for DCMM. DCMM is a standard issued by the National Beacon Committee, which can be regarded as an official introduction. DAMA is an association organization, and its DAMA Data Management Knowledge System and its "Data Management Professional Certification" are widely recognized by the industry.
6. What kind of enterprises can apply for DCMM evaluation?
DCMM is an evaluation framework for an enterprise's data management and application capabilities. From the perspective of the standard itself, any enterprise can apply for it. From the evaluation process, it can be divided into two aspects:
- Data owners (assess their own data management and application capabilities) : they can assess the data owners' problems in data management and give targeted suggestions to help them improve their data governance capabilities. (such as financial and insurance institutions, Internet companies, telecom operators, industrial companies)
- Data solution providers (evaluate the data management and application capabilities of externally provided products and services) : Through the implementation of this standard, it can help data solution providers improve the completeness of their own solutions. (such as software developers/operators, information system construction and service providers, information technology service providers, etc.)
7. What are the DCMM assessment agencies?
Currently, the China Electronics and Information Industry Federation has selected 7 evaluation agencies across the country, all of which are institutions directly under the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology:
CCID Testing and Certification Center Co., Ltd., Beijing Saixi Technology Development Co., Ltd., Beijing Saisheng Technology Co., Ltd., Beijing Industry Union Technology Co., Ltd., Guangzhou Saibao Certification Center Service Co., Ltd., Nanjing New Generation Artificial Intelligence Research Institute Co., Ltd., Weihai Shenzhou Information Technology Research Institute.
8. What is the price of DCMM evaluation?
Currently, there is no uniform price in the market. By checking the bidding documents of some publicized enterprises, the general level 2 enterprises are 150,000 to 200,000, the level 3 enterprises are around 300,000, and the level 4 enterprises are around 500,000, which fluctuates slightly according to the company's capabilities and personnel matching.
Evaluation Process
9. What is the evaluation process of DCMM? How long does the cycle take?
The whole process varies in time period due to grade application, which basically takes 1 to 2 months, mainly determined according to the review cycle of the DCMM expert committee.
The specific evaluation flow chart is as follows:
DCMM assessment process
(1) Evaluation preparation stage: The evaluated party establishes and improves the data management system with reference to the DCMM standard, conducts self-evaluation through internal operation, and can also assist in benchmarking through a standard implementation consulting agency, and submit valid application materials to a third-party evaluation agency.
(2) Formal evaluation stage: After the evaluation agency accepts the evaluation application, it will organize on-site evaluation and issue an evaluation report, give recommendations on the evaluation level, and report to the evaluation work department for record.
(3) Result evaluation stage: The evaluation work department conducts a compliance review of the evaluation results submitted by the evaluation agency, and has the right to reject the evaluation results that have major problems found in the compliance review. For the evaluation conclusions of the optimization level, quantitative management level and optimization level recommended by the evaluation agency, the evaluation work department needs to organize experts to review the evaluation results. The evaluation work department will make a one-week publicity for those that pass the review, review or comment. If there is no objection after the announcement, the assessment agency will issue a data management capability maturity assessment certificate.
10. In the process of evaluation, what are the main methods?
(1) Review documents and records: including company-level and department-level regulations, systems, norms, and management regulations, as well as process documents in the company's management process, such as meeting minutes, countersigned records, etc.
(2) Observe the data management process and activities: focus on understanding the relevant functions and usage records of the data management system/platform/tool.
(3) Personnel interviews: Verify the implementation of the company's rules and regulations and the use of the data management platform to confirm whether the implementation process is consistent with objective evidence.
11. The enterprise wants to apply for evaluation, how to judge the evaluation level initially?
The DCMM assessment also includes a lot of content and is backward compatible, so applying for a high-level assessment needs to meet the low-level requirements at the same time. The key points of the simple assessment mainly include dimensions such as enterprise size, data management personnel, data management system, and data management tools and platforms:
12. The current system standards of enterprises are not standardized enough, how can they obtain relatively high-level certificates?
Like other qualification certifications, enterprises can choose to improve their capabilities through standard implementation consulting. However, since the entire DCMM work has not been carried out for a short time, many consulting agencies are only doing business tentatively, and their evaluation capabilities vary, so they need to be carefully screened.
Generally, the DCMM standard implementation process is mainly divided into three stages:
- Step1: Gap analysis: Start standard implementation and conduct gap analysis.
- Step2: Capacity building: establish a data management organization, improve the system, conduct internal operations and conduct self-assessment.
- Step3: Measurement and evaluation: set up an evaluation team, conduct third-party evaluation, and obtain evaluation reports and ability certificates.
DCMM standard implementation process
13. Who are the main people involved in the evaluation process?
From the perspective of the enterprise evaluation process, generally speaking, data strategy and governance require managers, and the remaining six capability domains require technical personnel. From the perspective of actual evaluation, the number of enterprise matching personnel is generally 3-8. In the process of applying for a relatively low level, a person can cover 2~3 competency domains.
