Introduction

When industry identifies a challenge, it’s amazing what can be done when talented people collaborate. This is the underlying story of CDMC – Cloud Data Management Capability Framework.

The art of data management has evolved. Once thought of as a behind the scenes technology function, understanding, curating, protecting and using our information resource is a front and center business, technology and operations function. Data is now the life-blood of our industry and our personal lives. As data professionals, we have a responsibility to ensure information is accurate, timely, trusted, and protected and that it is being put to use effectively and ethically.

It is this goal that has propelled the profession of data management. Chief Data Officers, Heads of Data Quality, Data Governance and Data Architecture are becoming commonplace in our businesses. We now bear the responsibility of curating information from a defensive posture—controlling risk, privacy, safety and security, as well as from an offensive posture—increasing revenue, penetrating new markets, developing new products and services.

To better equip the data professional, the EDM Council developed a data management best practice framework known as DCAM – Data Management Capability Assessment Framework.

DCAM Framework

DCAM codified data management capabilities, giving the data professional a runbook to build and sustain a data management program. This model prompted several EDMC members to reach out to the Council—to ask us to facilitate an effort to build a similar model for the unique capabilities of data management in the cloud.

With a handful of members, the CDMC – Cloud Data Management Capability Workgroup began. In short order, this effort drew in over 100 companies and over 300 data and business professionals and engineers, including the top cloud service providers, financial institutions, technology companies, and major consultant and advisory firms.

For 16 months, this team worked tirelessly to build a cloud data management framework that would help the industry better manage data in the cloud, better protect data in the cloud, and better enable organizations to realize the benefits of the cloud environment.

With great appreciation and pride, the EDM Council, working with so many talented people, can now release the CDMC – Cloud Data Management Capability Framework – as a free-license model, to the industry. Thank you to all who contributed – you should feel very proud of the work you did and the benefit this will bring to the industry.

And to those future users of the CDMC Framework, we welcome your feedback. EDMC is committed to keeping this framework current and always on topic.
