Green Hills Software Achieves CMMI Maturity Level 3 Rating
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) SANTA BARBARA, CA, August 19 / MARKET WIRE/ --
Green Hills Software, Inc., the
technology leader in device software optimization (DSO) and real-time
operating systems (RTOS), today announced that it has attained Capability
Maturity Model? Integration (CMMI) Maturity Level 3 rating following a
successful Standard CMMI Appraisal Method for Process Improvement (SCAMPI)
A appraisal for its operating system and compiler development
organizations. Green Hills Software was appraised to the CMMI-DEV Version
1.2 Model. The published appraisal report can be found online at
http://sas.sei.cmu.edu/pars/pars_detail.aspx?a=11071.
While CMMI appraisals are often sought by services organizations, Green
Hills Software is the first embedded solutions provider to achieve the CMMI
Maturity Level 3 rating in its product development organization. This is
especially important for operating systems, compilers, and other systems
software that are components of, or used directly in, the creation of
critical electronic products, including automotive drive trains, aircraft
flight controls, industrial control systems, secure communications gear,
and medical devices. By relying on suppliers with CMMI-rated product
development, customers can reduce schedule risk and development cost while
improving end product quality.
"As a former computer science professor, I have a unique perspective with
respect to evaluating CMMI initiatives in software development
organizations," commented Transdyne Corporation's Dr. Mary Anne Herndon,
SEI/CMMI SCAMPI Lead Appraiser. "Green Hills Software should be proud of
its comprehensive integration and testing systems, corporate dedication to
the highest levels of quality, and its commitment to continuous process
improvement as demonstrated by this rating."
"Green Hills has passed ISO 9001 customer audits, FDA life critical device
manufacturer audits, and has met the most stringent development process and
assurance requirements of RTCA/DO-178B, IEC 61508, Common Criteria/ISO
15408, and other standards," commented David Kleidermacher, chief
technology officer, Green Hills Software. "This CMMI rating is yet one more
validation of our corporate commitment to process improvement, total
reliability, safety, and security. There's more to security than using the
word in marketing messaging. Our customers know well that Green Hills
Software walks the walk."
About CMMI
Capability Maturity Model? Integration (CMMI) 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.
