Many companies owe their success in part to business processes and
procedures developed, but not widely adopted. This is especially true
for the software development industry. Worldwide, the software industry
has largely adopted the Carnegie Mellon Software Engineering Institute’s
process for software development, called CMMI, for Capability Maturity
Model Integration. The CMMI process can be applied to most businesses,
but it has proven particularly effective for developing software.
In essence, the CMMI process defines and documents the key processes and
key employees that are required to perform specific jobs or tasks. CMMI
ranks company’s processes as falling into five levels. The higher
the level a company achieves, the more likely it will succeed.
hSenid Software International has gained recognition in providing dynamic
wireless applications and backend integrations (middleware) for Telecommunication
Companies and Enterprise markets whilst ensuring quality in all processes
by adhering to ISO 9001:2000 certified standard. hSenid is currently refining
their processes to meet CMMI standards. CMMI, (Capability Maturity Model
Integration) is a process improvement approach that provides organizations
with the essential elements of effective processes. It can be used to
guide process improvement across a project, a division, or an entire organization.
CMMI helps integrate traditionally separate organizational functions,
set process improvement goals and priorities, provide guidance for quality
processes, and provide a point of reference for appraising current processes.
hSenid has come through the initial CMMI training and progressed and
completed the GAP analysis and action plan respectively. The CMMI Product
Suite is at the forefront of process improvement because it provides the
latest best practices for product and service development and maintenance.
CMMI best practices enable organizations to:
• Explicitly link management and engineering activities to business objectives
• Expand the scope of and visibility into the product lifecycle and engineering activities to ensure that the product or service meets customer expectations
• Incorporate lessons learned from additional areas of best practice (e.g., measurement, risk management, and supplier management)
• Implement more robust high-maturity practices
• Address additional organizational functions critical to their products and services
• Fully comply with relevant ISO standard
