Whether your business is developing high-tech systems, consumer software, or IT services, you want to ensure the highest quality product or service is reached, especially if your product or service relies heavily on software.

CMMI-DEV is used for process improvement in development organizations to dramatically improve the effectiveness, efficiency, and quality of their product and service development work. CMMI-DEV also is supported by training courses and appraisal methodologies to help organizations objectively measure their improvement progress.
