Data application capability maturity can be summarized into four stages: statistical analysis, decision support, data-driven, and operation optimization. For different stages, reference and judgment are made from multiple aspects such as enterprise strategic positioning, enterprise data form, data application scenarios, data application tools, enterprise organizational structure, and different characteristic dimensions, which constitutes the data application maturity model evaluation model. According to the preparation of this stage, enterprises can conduct self-assessment of data application maturity. The higher the maturity of data application capability, the stronger the support ability of data to business; The lower the degree of dependence.

Single data dimension |
Unorganized data, decentralized storage and management of business data |
No data quality control |
Simple business statistical reports |
A system report module and Excel- based |
No data-related departments and positions, mainly related to IT and business departments |
decision support stage |
Start supporting business decisions with data |
Pay attention to the accumulation and collection of data in the business process |
The data dimension is gradually enriched |
Data organization in the form of an indicator system for business entities |
Start to implement data quality control and clean and process relevant data |
Provide decision support for enterprise management |
Focus on data warehouse, data development and professional BI reporting tools |
Start related data analysts, may set up special data departments and data value mining and other related positions |
data-driven stage |
Start to regard data as an important asset of enterprises, and provide data services for enterprises through cross-border data applications |
The initial scale of each business data accumulation, and the amount of data is increasing |
Global data fusion, richer data dimensions |
Aggregation, connection, and global data organization of related data involved in starting business |
Started data standardization construction and stricter data quality control |
Realize the deep integration of data and business, and drive business development through data |
Big data processing technologies such as batch computing, stream computing, ad-hoc analysis, online query, etc. represented by the Hadoop ecosystem, as well as machine learning and deep learning algorithms for data aggregation development |
Started to set up an independent big data department and big data engineers, algorithm engineers, data visualization engineers, data scientists and other related positions |
Operational Optimization Phase |
Enterprises start to build data centers, and the data center strategy continues to optimize operations |
With the construction of data closed loop, the volume of enterprise data is growing rapidly |
The data dimension is more perfect |
Establish a data application closed loop |
Form a complete set of data quality management specifications and management processes |
Resume a unified data service system to provide data service support for business optimization and business innovation |
Establish a set of systematic data aggregation, processing, management, service and application systems, and gradually realize big data capabilities as tools, tool platforms, and platform intelligence |
Set up a data management committee at the management level and set up a dedicated data asset operation department |
