As the volume of data grows exponentially across the globe, organizations want faster, better, and more
efficient use of their data to generate insights and make decisions. The ultimate goal, of course, is to
extract business value from this surfeit of information. The organizations that fail to do so risk being left
behind. Those who can tap the value of their data would become more efficient, reduce risks, save costs,
improve customer satisfaction, and open up unexplored areas of growth.

TCS' Data and Analytics Target Operating Model (DATOMTM) helps organizations in their data and analytics
maturity assessment across people, processes, data, and technology. This analytics maturity assessment
framework empowers organizations to better orchestrate their data initiatives, and cascade data-driven
advantages throughout the enterprise to make smarter decisions for driving business growth and
staying ahead of the curve.
