This study compare maturity of current situation and expectation of 70 respondents working in 6 different types of organizations in Indonesia. Differences were identified between types of organisations, with Financial Institutions, Consultants and Manufacturers belonging to a group with the higher of the current maturity scores, with the Consultants, Manufacturers and Service Providers belonging to a group with the higher of the expected future maturity scores.
