IDC MaturityScape: Data-Driven Mining 1.0

This IDC study provides a stage-by-stage framework that aims to guide mining organizations through the process of becoming data-driven. The study explores five stages of the data-driven journey, from ad hoc through to optimized. For each step of the data-driven process, the typical organizational characteristics and progress benchmarks have been elaborated on across the dimensions of data, people and process, and technology. The maturity of a mining organization's data-driven operations capability is limited by the weakness of any individual dimension."Data-driven mining is both the goal and process," says Ben Kirkwood, senior research manager, IDC Energy Insights, WW Mining. "This IDC MaturityScape is designed to provide miners, regardless of where they are in their journey, with a guide for the future. Using this, they will be able to map their own path toward data-driven mining."
