Enterprise Service Maturity Assessment

Why ESMA exists

Technology capability does not automatically create service capability. ESMA evaluates whether the surrounding organisation, workflows, data, tooling, governance and supplier model can sustain the intended outcomes.

Assessment dimensions

• Strategy and business outcomes
• Product and service definition
• Architecture and supported patterns
• Operating model and ownership
• Service management and assurance
• Supplier and commercial integration
• Data, tooling and automation
• Governance, risk and compliance
• Lifecycle management and continual improvement

Typical outcomes

ESMA provides a maturity view, a clear evidence base, prioritised gaps and a practical roadmap. It is suitable for new services, insourcing, service repair, supplier transition and operating-model transformation.

The point is not to produce a maturity score for the drawer. It is to identify what must change for the service to work reliably in practice.
