The EDM Council DCAM User Group collects best practices based on the execution of the DCAM Framework. These examples of best practice are vetted in a workgroup made up of Data Management practitioners with subject matter expertise on the specific topic. Once vetted and approved by the DCAM Steering Committee, the best practice is published in the DCAM Knowledge Portal.

Participation in the DCAM User Group and access to the DCAM Knowledge Portal is open to representatives from EDM Council member organizations.

The EDM Council also maintains a DCAM Authorized Partner (DAP) program. The DAP is the training and certification mechanism by which consultants and advisors are licensed to deliver DCAM-based assessments and to consult on the execution of the DCAM Framework. The goal of the DAP program is to verify that representatives of the DAP are fully versed in the data management principles and capabilities of DCAM.
