Indices

  • Maturity indices measure the capability to deliver IT services and applications in a given area. They examine not just technical dimensions of progress but also multiple dimensions such as culture, process, expertise, investment, and governance. Maturity indices enable institutions to determine where they are and where they aspire to be.
  • Deployment indices measure stages of deployment for specific technologies and services, which are aggregated to track progress in an area.

Benchmarking Reports

Core Data Service participants can also use these data to create benchmarking reports that assess their organization's digital capabilities and provide insight for future planning.
