Solutions provider's India offshore development centre achieves Level 5 CMM CBA IPI; joins elite group of qualifying software organisations
SINGAPORE, 9 July 2004 - Leading IT solutions provider CrimsonLogic Pte Ltd today announced that its India offshore development centre has achieved Level 5, the highest possible, on the rigorous Capability Maturity Model (CMM) Based Appraisal for Internal Process Improvement (CBA-IPI) assessment.

Developed by the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) of Carnegie Mellon University, the CMM is a globally recognised model for quality process improvement and has become synonymous with good quality software. The CMM helps organisations to consistently attain quantitative business targets like cost, real-time deadlines, quality of service (QoS) requirements.
CrimsonLogic CEO, Mr. Mathivanan said, “Delivering business value is the ultimate goal of application outsourcing and yet for many customers, it often involves a certain leap of faith. The CMM is a highly respected industry benchmark for measuring the quality of any outsourced engagement or service provider. This Level 5 recognition underscores our ability to deliver projects to customers consistently on time, within budget and to desired quality.”

These organisations must also demonstrate commitment to piloting innovative ideas and technologies.
