Federal Data and Digital Maturity
Key points:
- The Federal Data and Digital Maturity Index (FDDMI) assesses the maturity of U.S. federal agencies in terms of their digital and data capabilities.
- The overall data and digital maturity score for participating federal agencies was 36 out of 100, indicating a “literate” level of maturity.
- Federal agencies trailed behind both the global public and private sectors in all eight data and digital maturity building blocks, with the “Reimagine Government” category showing the largest gap.
Summary:
The FDDMI evaluated the digital and data capabilities of U.S. federal agencies, revealing an overall maturity score of 36 out of 100. This placed the government at a “literate” level, lower than the global public and private sectors. The agencies struggled the most in the “Reimagine Government” category, highlighting a lack of innovation and openness in utilizing data and digital technologies. However, they performed better in the “Data and Analytics” category and set a target maturity score of 75 within the next five years.
