Demonstration of Commitment to Software Development and Project Management Processes
MARLBOROUGH, Mass. (June 9, 2005) – Workscape, Inc., a proven provider of outsourced human resource solutions, today announced that the company’s Product Engineering and Professional Services divisions have been assessed at maturity level 2 on the Software Engineering Institute (SEI), Capability Maturity Model® Integration (CMMI-SW) scale (v1.1) by Norausky Process Solutions, Inc., an independent organization that provides consulting services. This achievement demonstrates Workscape’s commitment to effective project management and software development procedures.
CMMI is an internationally-recognized and acclaimed framework for assessing and improving software development capabilities. CMMI best practices enable organizations to more explicitly link management and engineering activities to business objectives, expand the scope of and visibility into the product life cycle and engineering activities to ensure that the product or service meets customer expectations, and more fully comply with relevant ISO (International Organization for Standardization) standards.
“Workscape has demonstrated excellence in software development and project management as well as ongoing commitment to continuous process improvement,” stated Gary Norausky, president of Norausky Process Solutions, Inc., and an SEI-authorized CMMI SCAMPI SM Lead Appraiser. “Workscape’s accomplishment in terms of software process improvement results provides a significant competitive advantage in providing HR solutions.”
Tim Clifford, President and CEO of Workscape, said, “The attainment of the CMMI Maturity Level 2 rating is validation of our efforts to continuously improve and maintain the highest standards in our software development, operations and support functions. This distinction provides our clients with the confidence of knowing that all projects are properly scoped, managed, and implemented, achieving the intended goals within agreed schedules and budgets.”
The CMMI framework allows Workscape to deliver the solutions and results its clients expect, on time and on budget. The appraisal, conducted using the Standard CMMI Appraisal Method for Process Improvement (SCAMPI) v1.1, confirms that Workscape’s management processes meet the most widely respected standards for software and system integration projects. It also provides the basis upon which Workscape can build continuous improvement, consistency and predictability in its management processes and the quality of the solutions it delivers.
