Key points:

1. The Federal Data and Digital Maturity Index (FDDMI) assesses the maturity of U.S. federal agencies in terms of their digital and data capabilities.
2. The overall data and digital maturity score for participating federal agencies was 36 out of 100, indicating a “literate” level of maturity.
3. 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.
