Digital Maturity Assessment

Set a clear baseline with digital maturity assessment

As digital capabilities rapidly evolve, pharmaceutical manufacturers face increasing pressure to modernize operations, improve data visibility, and scale innovation across their networks. To do this effectively, they need a clear understanding of their current digital capabilities and a practical strategy to move forward.

Recognized Framework

Our Digital Maturity Assessment is built on the Digital Plant Maturity Model (DPMM), developed by BioPhorum, a widely recognized framework for evaluating digital maturity in pharmaceutical manufacturing. C&F enhances this model with deep operational and transformation experience to create a structured approach that does more than assess, it enables action.

Clear Baseline

This framework provides a clear baseline of your current digital maturity across process, data, technology, and organizational dimensions at both the site and network levels. It also defines a future-state strategy that aligns with your business goals and supports investment decisions, governance models, and execution planning.

From framework to measurable results

The DPMM offers a structured way to assess digital maturity, but scoring alone is not enough. C&F translates those insights into a clear, prioritized roadmap that aligns leadership, identifies operational bottlenecks, and connects digital capabilities to measurable business outcomes. Whether you’re refining an existing strategy or building one from the ground up, our approach helps you move from isolated initiatives to a connected, scalable transformation plan that delivers real value.

Why leading manufacturers invest in DPMM assessment

Strategic clarity across the network

Gain a clear, objective view of your digital maturity, not just at the site level, but across your entire manufacturing network. Understand where you stand and where you need to go.

Benchmarking that drives action

Compare your digital capabilities against industry standards and peers. Identify where you're leading, lagging, or aligned, and use that insight to prioritize transformation.

Leadership alignment & governance

Create a shared vision and governance framework that accelerates decision-making and scales successful pilots. Build trust and momentum across functions.

Streamlined operations with reduced risk

Spot inefficiencies, siloed initiatives, and compliance risks before they cost you. Align digital investments with business outcomes to avoid wasted effort.

Quick wins that build momentum

Identify and act on immediate opportunities tied directly to pain points. Deliver early value to build credibility and energize teams.

Continuous improvement & maturity tracking

Use the assessment as a living tool, not a one-time report. Reassess over time to track progress, uncover bottlenecks, and sustain transformation.

C&F is your DPMM partner for pharmaceutical manufacturing

Pharmaceutical-first expertise

We understand the realities of pharmaceutical manufacturing, from complex data environments to audit expectations. Your assessment reflects your operational context, not a generic checklist.

Structure plus strategy

BioPhorum’s DPMM provides the framework. C&F brings the method, governance, and transformation experience to make it actionable.

Network-wide visibility

We assess beyond the site level to uncover cross-site dependencies, bottlenecks, and opportunities for reuse. This enables smarter prioritization and scaling.

Leadership alignment that drives scale

We help align leadership around a shared vision and governance model. This ensures successful pilots continue to grow rather than stall.

Independent and platform-agnostic

Our recommendations focus on advancing your maturity, not promoting specific tools. We work across platforms to guide investment and execution.

Capability transfer and enablement

You keep more than a report. We hand over clear materials and decision frameworks so your teams can execute, track progress, and sustain gains over time.

Data unlocked for action

You benefit from deep experience in complex data work and unlocking data from the OT layer at the edge, so plant data becomes usable for decisions across the network.

From strategy to execution

We don’t just define the roadmap, we help deliver it. Our team supports architecture, solution design, and implementation across your sites and network.

We meet you where you are, make digital maturity visible across your network, and equip your teams to act with confidence. With BioPhorum’s DPMM as the foundation and C&F’s transformation experience layered in, stalled pilots turn into scalable solutions and digital investments start delivering real value.
