Infosys Public Services Inc., a US-based subsidiary of global consulting, technology, outsourcing and next-generation services company Infosys, today announced that it has been appraised at Level 5, the highest maturity level of the CMMI Institute's Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI)®. The appraisal team was led by Edward Weller from Integrated Productivity Solutions, LLC.
CMMI is a performance enhancement model consisting of collected best practices that guide organizations to improve key capabilities and elevate performance. CMMI's five maturity levels provide IT organizations with a clear path for improvement. An appraisal at maturity Level 5 indicates that an organization is performing at an 'optimizing' level, continually improving its processes based on a quantitative understanding of its business objectives and performance needs, and continuously evolving to adapt to changing stakeholder and customer needs.
The highest rating (level 5) validates Infosys Public Services' ability to execute high-quality, complex IT programs on-time and within budget, and to help clients realize desired returns from their IT investments.
Edward Weller, President, Integrated Productivity Solutions, LLC, said, "During the appraisal the team saw estimation models developed from statistical analysis of historical data that allow Infosys Public Services teams to do an outstanding job of predicting effort, schedule, and product quality. This capability means commitments to customers are accurate and dependable, which translates to meeting user needs with the right products and services. Infosys Public Services demonstrated the benefits expected of a high maturity organization."
"The CMMI level 5 rating is a significant milestone in our journey to become a premier IT partner to public sector organizations. We use best practices from the CMMI model to incorporate sound software development principles that enable us to predictably execute IT programs using different methodologies - agile, waterfall, iterative. This rating is a validation of our efforts to establish a foundation of processes that balance stability and agility, and equip us to drive our clients' software-led transformation,” reflected Eric Paternoster, President and CEO, Infosys Public Services.
