The CS4 level assessment is an evaluation standard for information system construction and service capabilities, covering the planning and design, implementation and operation and maintenance, information security and other aspects of information systems. Its purpose is to help enterprises evaluate and improve the maturity and service level of information system construction, so as to improve the level of enterprise information management and market competitiveness. So, how does the CS4 assessment work?
1. Preliminary preparation
1. Self-assessment
Enterprises need to conduct a preliminary assessment of their own capabilities in information system construction and services to ensure that they have the basic conditions to apply for CS4. This includes, but is not limited to, the scale, performance, management system, technical strength and other aspects of the enterprise.
2. Understand the standards
Read and understand in detail the specific requirements for CS4 in the "Capability Requirements for Information System Construction and Service Capability Assessment System", including the competency requirements for strategic management, business operation, basic support, improvement and innovation, etc.
3. Assemble a team
Establish a dedicated assessment preparation team to be responsible for the organization, coordination and implementation of the entire assessment process. The team members should include senior management of the enterprise, heads of business departments, technical personnel, etc.
2. Select an evaluation agency and submit an application
1. Choose an assessment agency
According to the qualifications, experience, reputation and other factors of the appraisal agency, choose a suitable appraisal agency. It is recommended to choose an assessment agency with nationally recognized qualifications, rich experience and high-quality services.
2. Submit application materials
Submit a written application to the evaluation agency, and attach the basic information of the enterprise, business scope, organizational structure, main performance and other relevant materials. The application materials should be true, accurate and complete, and can fully reflect the comprehensive ability and management level of the enterprise.
3. Contract signing and data submission
1. Conclusion of Contract
After confirming the acceptance of the assessment, the evaluation agency will sign an evaluation contract with the applicant enterprise. The contract should specify the scope of assessment, evaluation criteria, assessment fee, assessment time and other matters.
2. Submission of details
Enterprises are required to submit detailed assessment materials in accordance with the requirements of the assessment agency. This information includes, but is not limited to:
Enterprise qualification documents (e.g. business license, etc.)
Project management documents (e.g. project contracts, project plans, project reports, etc.)
Technical documentation (e.g. technical solutions, technical specifications, test reports, etc.)
Personnel qualification certificate (such as technical personnel title certificate, academic certificate, etc.)
Management system documents (e.g. quality manuals, procedure documents, work instructions, etc.)
4. Document review and on-site assessment
1. Document review
The evaluation agency will conduct a document review of the submitted information to have a preliminary understanding of the comprehensive ability and management level of the enterprise. Document review focuses on the completeness, accuracy and conformity of the information.
2. On-site assessment
After the documents are approved, the assessment body will arrange an on-site assessment. The on-site assessment mainly examines the actual operation, project management ability, technical strength and other aspects of the enterprise. Evaluators will conduct assessments through interviews, reviewing documents, observing actual practices, etc.
5. Evaluation conclusions and certificate issuance
1. Conclusions of the assessment
Based on the results of the document review and on-site assessment, the assessment body recommends the appropriate certification level for the enterprise. For enterprises recommended as CS4, the evaluation agency will organize an expert review committee to review and evaluate. The final assessment results will be announced for a period of one week and will be submitted to the Steering Committee for approval if there are no objections.
2. Certificate issuance
After approval by the Steering Committee, the assessment body will issue a CS4 certification certificate to the enterprise. The certificate is generally valid for four years, and enterprises are required to conduct annual self-inspection reports and supervision and evaluation regularly during the validity period to maintain their certification status.
The handling of CS4 certificate is not only the only way for enterprise informatization construction, but also an effective way to improve service capabilities and management levels.
