"Q0": "In-memory technologies are used for the majority of operational databases. Secondary operational database replicas are in the public cloud. Real-time operational analytical models are broadly deployed within operational databases.",
"Q1": "In-memory database technologies are in use and analytical models may be implemented within transactional systems to enable real-time operational decision making. Non-relational databases have likely been deployed. The public cloud is used for data backup, recovery, and failover. Some mission-critical apps may be deployed using the public cloud as well.",
"Q2": "Performance tuning is completed through premium storage options such as solid-state drives and flash-based storage. Database schemas can be dynamically updated. Support for mission-critical apps is available via direct access to the database vendor’s engineering teams. The public cloud may be used for deployment of customer-facing applications.",
"Q3": "Operational databases can be scaled up through massively parallel processing and elastically scaled out through pools. Uptime availability is “five nines” or better. Role-based security is defined at the database level and data can be encrypted at rest and in motion.",
"Q4": "Relational databases are primarily used for key business applications. Databases can be scaled up by adding or upgrading existing hardware. Transactional data is backed up to a secondary data center for failover and recovery."

"EDW": {
"Q0": "Siloed data marts and data storages have been eliminated. Real-time predictive modeling can be easily conducted on all data without extracting from the data warehouse.",
"Q1": "Some or all data stored in the enterprise data warehouse is refreshed in real time or near-real time or is streaming. Predictive modeling that provides insights is often an extension of the data warehouse. Data from public web and social media sites augments internal data sets. The public cloud is used for some data warehousing needs.",
"Q2": "Comprehensive data for most reporting and analytics needs is contained in an enterprise data warehouse. Six or more years of data is stored in a data warehouse and users can query historical data without pulling from a data archive or cold storage. Redundant data marts have been retired in favor of a centralized enterprise data warehouse.",
"Q3": "The enterprise data warehouse connects to multiple business applications and data sources to centralize storage and analysis of internal company data and third-party data. The enterprise data warehouse can scale to handle growth with frequent automated refreshes.",
"Q4": "Multiple data marts for individual business functions and systems are maintained. Steps have been taken to start consolidating silos of data into an enterprise data warehouse. Most information maintained in the data warehouse is refreshed intermittently."
},
"EDL": {
"Q0": "Structured and unstructured data has been consolidated through automated processes in the enterprise data lake. Data from the enterprise data lake can be seamlessly joined with other data sources for real-time reporting and analytics.",
"Q1": "An enterprise data lake has been established on-premises or in the cloud to house structured and unstructured data. Data often arrives in real time and analytics can be run within the data lake. Users can query and join data seamlessly across the data lake and enterprise data warehouse.",
"Q2": "Hadoop or other distributed big data technologies are used on a pilot basis. Key unstructured data is transformed in batches into structured data for analysis, reporting, and modeling.",
"Q3": "Unstructured data is stored in a centralized repository, but limited analysis is performed on unstructured or non-relational data.",
"Q4": "There’s currently little or no use of unstructured data. Distributed big data technologies like Hadoop are not in use."
},
"BI": {
"Q0": "Streaming data and event hubs can be utilized to enable notifications of outliers found in developed dashboards and data models. Smart applications and functions like Cortana are utilized. Enhanced security features are in place, such as the ability to manage and monitor user activity in the BI workspace. Transaction logs for auditing purposes have been introduced.",
"Q1": "Interactive and streaming BI dashboards for enterprise-wide KPIs have been established. Business users are enabled to use BI tools to customize their view of the state of the business and identify opportunities and risks through user-defined custom alerts.",
"Q2": "There’s broad user access to business intelligence using embedded dashboards within key applications and mobile business intelligence. Users can perform ad-hoc analyses and visualizations, even with data in software as a service (SaaS) applications. Well-defined data dictionaries and data governance policies are established.",
"Q3": "Enterprise-wide definitions exist for key business metrics and KPIs. Transactional queries are used to perform calculations and create forecasts. Power users utilize BI tools to create data mashups from multiple sources. BI tools are deployed on the cloud or as a software as a service (SaaS) solution.",
"Q4": "BI tools are in place for enterprise reporting and self-serve analytics. Users can customize their workspaces in BI tools and reports through limited service software packages that don’t fully utilize accompanying mobile or web applications that may be available. BI packages can be monitored and audited for compliance and security."

"Q0": "Predictive data models can be easily molded, updated, and deployed on-the-go for live scenario and use case visualization based on new data and business needs.",
"Q1": "Predictive models are based on real-time data streams and models are dynamically updated as new data is generated. Models are deployed within key business applications to support real-time operational decision making and personalized recommendations. Data scientists can build, refine, and select the best models after running multiple processes in parallel.",
"Q2": "Predictive models have been developed for multiple purposes including customer churn analysis and predictive maintenance for equipment. Prescriptive models that generate recommended business actions for users based on data analysis are in development.",
"Q3": "Predictive and statistical modeling capabilities are based on manual calculation and forecasting and is performed on a limited or ad-hoc only basis. Basic batch predictive models have begun to emerge.",
"Q4": "There’s limited use of advanced analytics or statistical models. Data analysis and modeling capabilities are limited or involve ad-hoc manual entry and calculations."

"Cloud": {
"Q0": "Key systems are being migrated from on-premises data centers to public or hybrid clouds for greater scalability, availability, and access to the latest cloud-based services.",
"Q1": "Hybrid applications in which certain elements of the system (including sensitive corporate data) are deployed using a public infrastructure-as-a-service or platform-as-a-service provider have been deployed and are maintained behind a corporate firewall.",
"Q2": "Cloud infrastructure is used for specific production applications. For example, Infrastructure or Platform-as-a-Service providers are selected for temporary, compute intensive tasks where it’s necessary to spin up a large number of instances rapidly.",
"Q3": "Compute instances are auto-provisioned and other infrastructure is in a private cloud. May be experimenting with public infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and platform as a service (PaaS) solutions for development and test environments.",
"Q4": "The majority of the enterprise infrastructure has been virtualized, but infrastructure as a service (IaaS) or platform as a service (PaaS) solutions are most likely not in use."
