-## About DCM
+## The Problem DCM Solves
 
-The Data Center Management (DCM) project provides a hyperscaler-like cloud experience for enterprise on-premises and sovereign cloud infrastructure. DCM is an **API-first, technology-agnostic framework** that relies on a declarative data model where the desired state of infrastructure is defined as code.
+Enterprise on-premises infrastructure is managed by dozens of disconnected tools and manual processes. A single VM can take weeks across five teams. No one has a trustworthy answer to: *what exists, what was requested, what was provisioned, and does current state match intended state?*
 
-The overarching goal is to define the configuration of an entire data center in version-controlled code, enabling rapid deployment and full environment recovery.
+DCM establishes a unified, declarative single source of truth for all infrastructure state and connects it to a policy-driven control plane that governs every lifecycle operation — from request to decommission.
