New York, NY, Feb. 21, 2020 – Ariel Partners, a leading IT firm offering IT Development, Consulting, Coaching, and Training announced today that its operations have been appraised at level 3 of the CMMI Institute’s Capability Maturity Model Integration for Services (CMMI-SVC) and for Development (CMMIDEV).
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 is performing at a “defined” level. At this level, processes are well characterized and understood, and are described in standards, procedures, tools, and methods. The organization’s set of standard processes, which is the basis for maturity level 3, is established and improved over time.
These appraisals highlight Ariel Partners’ commitment to quality and customer satisfaction, delivering on their specialties in digital transformation, IT services, training, and management consulting services. The successful joint appraisal-audit was performed in early February 2020 by Acme Process Group and The Process Company, LLC.
“These achievements reflect our foremost commitment to quality, continuous improvement, and dedication to providing quality consulting services for our clients,” said Craeg Strong, CTO of Ariel Partners. “Specifically, it demonstrates that our execution of projects, services, and operations are based on standards, procedures, and methods that are well defined and understood. This indicates that customers can expect consistent results and excellent quality, time after time.”
The CMMI model equips organizations with an approach to continuous business process improvement that considers a wide range of practices for establishing mature, effective processes.
Strong continued: “Ariel celebrates this achievement as a major milestone along our journey of constant improvement and relentless innovation. We will continue to invest heavily in research and development into new ideas and better, more efficient processes for the benefit of our customers. Two recent examples are our adoption and advocacy of the Kanban Maturity Model (KMM) and our new Governance and Oversight framework for Large-Scale Agile programs. We are pressing onward and looking forward to continuing our advancement to increasing levels of maturity, bringing our already mature processes and procedures to the highest level for our clients’ benefit.”
