Vendor 3
Proprietary interface with AspenTech
No proprietary interface
User’s choice limited
Solution value reduced
Users: Flexibility and agility impeded AspenTech: High cost of maintaining multiple interfaces Š 2010 Aspen Technology, Inc. All rights reserved

Organizational Maturity “Organizations cannot skip stages or the associated activities without introducing weaknesses into their EIM programs, which will cause them to fail later on.” “Organizations cannot implement EIM as a single project. Rather, it requires a gradual building of skills, awareness and technology. It must happen in iterative phases over time.”
Gartner, "Introducing the EIM Maturity Model" (2009)
