McLean, VA December 19, 2006- Pragmatics, Inc. has attained a CMMI Level 4 rating for software and systems engineering as defined by the Software Engineering Institute (SEI). The results of the successful appraisal place Pragmatics as one of a small number of companies, and an even more exclusive group of small companies worldwide that have obtained a CMMI Maturity Level 4 from a certified SEI Lead Appraiser.
Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) is a process improvement approach that provides organizations with the essential elements of effective processes. The model was developed by the SEI (Software Engineering Institute) for assessing a company's software engineering capability and the maturity of its processes.
"Having the entire company's business and engineering processes externally appraised at CMMI Level 4, demonstrates that Pragmatics has highly mature best practices that are metrics-based and statistically managed. This places us in a leadership position within the $64B Federal Information Technology market and makes us truly unique as a mid-tier company.” stated Paul Strasser, Pragmatics Chief Operating Officer . “This is a critical discriminator in today's performance-based contracting environment. In fact, only a handful of companies in the United States are appraised at CMMI Level 4 and those are generally large, multi-national, publicly traded, IT, Aerospace or Defense contractors. This is a very important milestone on the way to achieving our goals of SEI CMMI Level 5 and the Malcolm Baldrige Award."
