CGI Federal, a wholly-owned U.S. operating subsidiary of CGI Group Inc. (TSX: GIB.A; NYSE: GIB), today announced that it has been successfully appraised at Capability Maturity Model® Integration (CMMI®) Maturity Level 3 by the Software Engineering Institute (SEI). The company is a leading provider of IT and Managed Services solutions to government agencies.
Prior to this milestone, CGI’s Public Sector Health, Department of the Treasury, and Department of Agriculture account teams, along with its Momentum® software engineering group, were appraised at CMMI Maturity Level 3. Expanding the CMMI rating to the rest of the company further elevates the confidence that clients have in CGI-developed systems and services to fully meet federal requirements and provide best value.
CMMI is a standard used by the Department of Defense (DoD) and civilian sectors of the federal government to evaluate the ability of prospective contractors to complete projects with high levels of quality, on time, and within budget. Moreover, the Maturity Level 3 rating is now mandatory on an increasing number of integration, management, and software contracts.
“CGI Federal offers greater value to our clients through adherence to CMMI, delivering improvements in processes and tools," said George Schindler, President of CGI Federal. “The application of consistent, repeatable processes always yields superior results and reinforces CGI's commitment to continuous process improvement, while delivering high-quality solutions."
