Our ECM Maturity Model meets MIKE2.0

ECM3 is without a doubt the most successful maturity model for ECM, with downloads of the model passing the 5,000 mark recently.  The fact that it was a work of love by ourselves at Real Story Group along with the good folks at Wipro (donated as open source to the community) has partly accounted for its success. But I hope the real reason for the success is the depth and quality of the model.

So how to top that?  Well we have decided to merge efforts with the famous MIKE2.0 model, which is also open source and free to use. MIKE2.0 is the defacto maturity model for structured data. Our hope is that by adding ECM3 to MIKE2.0 we can spread the love even further and not only reach into the structured data world, but also help raise the profile and importance of ECM in that parallel universe.

The ECM3.org website will remain and you can continue to download and use the model from there.  Our thanks for all the support to date - in particular the outstanding work and contribution to the model by Apoorv Durga and Dave Smigiel - and here's to the next chapter in ECM maturity model history!
