Tata Infotech assessed SEI CMM Level 4 The Observer of Business and Politics - July 27, 2000

Mumbai: Tata Infotech has been assessed at SEI CMM Level 4 for its Bangalore and Pune software development centers this month.

The development centre at NEPZ (Noida Export Processing Zone) located at Noida near Delhi, achieved the same certification in March 2000.

Describing it as a landmark in the company’s endeavour towards business excellence, a spokesman said that this assessment placed Tata Infotech in the select band of high maturity organizations worldwide that have been assessed at level 4 and 5.

The two centres fulfilled the requirements of the key process areas of CMM level 2, 3 and 4 and were assessed at level 4. The SEI CMM is a five-level model-designed by the Software Engineering Institute at the Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, USA - to evaluate and improve the capability and maturity of a software organization. Each level represents a higher maturity of the organisation’s capability.

The assessment was carried out by a team from KPMG. This assessment included software subcontract management, an area not generally addressed by many Indian software organisations.
