Solers Earns CMMI Level 3 Rating

August 23, 2007 – Solers has attained a Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) Maturity Level 3 rating for Systems and Software Engineering. This achievement, rare for a company of Solers' size, demonstrates a significant commitment to excellence in product development and process improvement. CMMI is a framework of industry best practices for improving the management, development, and maintenance of products and services. CMMI was developed by the Carnegie Mellon Software Engineering Institute (SEI), a federally funded research and development center. Benefits of using the CMMI include reduced cost and higher productivity, quality and customer satisfaction. CMMI is recognized as the standard of excellence in government and industry, and the U.S Department of Defense (DoD) recognizes CMMI ratings to be predictive of organizational performance. Solers’ rating resulted from a rigorous assessment by the Systems and Software Consortium, Inc. (SSCI) using the Standard CMMI Appraisal Method for Process Improvement. Maturity Level 3 confirms compliance in 18 process areas spanning management, engineering, and support activities.
