INCATech has been appraised at CMMI level 3 for Development & Services
INCATech has been appraised at level 3 of the CMMI Institute's Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) in Development and Services. CMMI is a capability improvement framework that provides organizations with the essential elements of effective processes that ultimately improve their performance. An appraisal at maturity level 3 indicates the organization performs at a "defined" Level and has institutionalized the model's Services and Development practice areas. At this level, processes are well characterized and understood and are described in standards, procedures, tools, and methods. The organization's standard processes, the basis for maturity level 3, are established and improved over time.
CMMI for Development is for our developed products, components, and/or services. Using an integrated set of best practices, it improves our performance and key capabilities. INCATech collaborated with Joint Personnel Recovery Agency (JPRA) to understand their data search challenge and develop the Personnel Recovery Information Data System (PRIDS). When a service member is separated from their unit, a civilian was kidnapped, or an American needs to get back home safely, JPRA coordinates efforts to rescue individuals from being captured and exploited. The JPRA/PRIDS project has demonstrated the integration of Agile software development practices that align with CMMI for Development practices.
CMMI for Services is based on an integrated set of best practices that improve our company’s performance and key capabilities for providing services, including B2B, B2C, standalone services, and services with part of a product offering. Providing the safest, most efficient aerospace system in the world is the mission of the FAA. The FAA/HCSS III contract was selected as a project that aligns with CMMI for Services practices. The project provides support services to the FAA Contracting Officers/Specialists within the Office of Acquisition and Business Services (AAQ).
In achieving CMMI Level 3 for Development, INCATech has maintained its current maturity rating and has upgraded from version 1.3 to 2.0. In addition to continuing to follow CMMI Development practices, INCATech achieved one of its forward-looking goals by successfully being appraised at CMMI v2.0 Level 3 for Services maturity rating. The benefits to INCATech's customers are the following:
Stability
Process and Performance Improvement
Meeting market demands
Cost-effectiveness
“Achieving level 3 capability as formally assessed to the CMMI standards provides assurance to our current and future customers that INCATech will deliver low risk, high value, and quality performance of their mission requirements”. – Liliana Freedman, President & CEO
