VALLEY FORGE, Pa. -- USERS Inc. is the first credit union core processor and one of only a relative handful worldwide to earn a rigorous software development designation.
The Capability Maturity Model Integration Level II program was developed by the Carnegie Mellon Software Engineering Institute as a model for software improvement through highly defined, consistent, repeatable processes.
SEI says only an estimated 1,200 organizations worldwide have achieved CMMI Level II or higher.
Attainment of CMMI Level II means that the organization has achieved long-term success in "product development, acquisition and service-related processes that can be compared and measured with the industry state of practices."
"The comments we've heard from our clients tell us that our CMMI initiative is working very effectively, enabling USERS to deliver software that is increasingly improving in quality and reliability," said USERS CTO Jay Kamp.
"Through the continued application of CMMI and the dedicated efforts of staff across the organization, USERS will strive to take software quality to the next level in 2008, as we work toward the very stringent requirements of CMMI Level III," Kamp said.
