SEI CMM and CMMI Certification Support
Getting your organization to CMM or CMMI Level 3 or
more is becoming mandatory to win business in the IT
arena, especially in the government sector. For mid to
large organizations the cost is easily running into
hundreds of thousands of dollars. Most of this cost is
in the preparation process to train staff; to create
project and process repositories complying to CMM/CMMI;
and to monitor compliance to activities. We have been
mentoring organizations in the process area for over a
decade. We can reduce the cost of your CMM effort
drastically. Here are some of our CMM service
offerings.

We will provide executive and technical training to

CMM/CMMI Instrumentation (2 to 6 months depending on
organization size)
An appraisal from a SEI CMM Lead Assessor is a
necessary step towards CMM compliance. To ensure that
the appraisal is cost effective, we help you with an
inexpensive pre-gap analysis. After pre-gap analysis we
will create the CMM engine for your organization by
providing document templates, procedures, and
recommendations to get your organization CMM Assessment
ready. We will employ a customized process based on RUP
and/or XP. As an option we will automate CMM compliance
tools such as Processmax to automate your CMM workflow,
resulting in tremendous cost savings.
