The IS Rating Tool is a framework with which to assess the intrinsic value of information system (IS) assets, including data, rules and processes. Each type of asset is measured against three domains: Knowledge Management, Governance functions and IT Management. Based on almost 100 questions, using a comprehensive scale that ranges from low to optimized, the tool collects approximately 500 points of measurement data.

IS Rating Tool MDM acts as a knowledge database to maintain descriptions and guidelines to enforce ratings work, and as a data repository with which you can author and compute IS ratings outcomes.

The IS Rating Tool was created by the non-profit organization, Sustainable IT Architecture.
It is free for you to use, without limitations, under a Creative Commons license.
