EDLM™ Options
Utopia offers three EDLM options for clients to consider in meeting their business and IT objectives.
EDLM Assessment – a quantitative assessment that addresses the following:
- Where am I currently at, what am I doing well?
- What needs improvement?
- What are my gaps?
- Where do I stand against my peers?
EDLM Strategy – a quantitative and qualitative analysis that includes all of the above deliverables plus addresses the following:
- What do I need to do?
- Where are my opportunities?
- Is there low hanging fruit I can address now?
- How do I align to my business objectives?
- What is my business case?
EDLM Roadmap - a comprehensive assessment that would addresses the following:
- How do I get there?
- What sequence should I execute?
- What comes first?
- How do I institutionalize?
- How do I chunk this up within the current economic environment and investment plan?
- How do I compete for investment plan dollars?
Ultimately, the EDLM Assessment establishes your current capability baseline and facilitates establishing a target “End-State” for where your organization would like to be. The EDLM Strategy identifies what needs to be accomplished, in order to achieve the desired end-state. The EDLM Roadmap option addresses how to get there by providing pragmatic strategy roadmaps, investment plans and project charters to guide your Data Management initiative. There is flexibility to add or remove specific EDLM deliverables to tailor the assessment to your organizational needs.
