What is a DTMA?
A DTMA (Digital Transformation Maturity Assessment) is a process that should be undertaken before any major investment in digital automation initiatives. A DTMA should help align your business needs with any proposed solutions by answering core questions at the heart of your businesses long term strategy:
Where are you now?
Why change?
What are your roadblocks?
What what does success look like?
Answering these questions is a consultative process that involves interviews and workshops with representatives from all areas of the business, capturing the current state of your operation. A comprehensive requirement framework is used to score each area of the business against industry benchmarks and digital best practices.
A DTMA will help guarantee the success of any investment in digital systems, meaning your budget is effectively spent in the right areas for your business goals.
