SynapseIndia has acquired the prestigious CMMI 3 accreditation and aspires to become the CMMI 4 certified company in the near future

CMMI is a process improvement approach that provides organizations with the essential elements of effective processes that ultimately improve their overall performance. CMMI can be used to guide process improvement across a project, a division or an entire organization. It helps integrate conventionally separate organizational functions, set process improvement goals and priorities, provide guidance for quality processes and provide a point of reference for appraising current processes.

The process is being adopted worldwide, including North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, South America and Africa. Many companies in India too are vying for the CMMI stamp, to demonstrate the maturity of their processes. Synapse India , a major IT solutions firm headquartered Noida, too, has acquired the CMMI 3 accreditation and aspires to obtain the CMMI 4 credential in the near future.

Benefits of a CMMI certification include:

•Your organization's activities are explicitly linked to your business objectives
•Your visibility into the organization's activities is enhanced to help you ensure that your products and services meet the customer's expectations
•You learn from new areas of best practice (measurement, risk, etc.)

CMMI can be employed in three different areas of interest:

•Product and service development
•Service establishment, management and delivery
•Product and service acquisition

CMMI models are essentially collections of best practices that you can compare to your organization's best practices and guide improvement into your processes.
A formal comparison of a CMMI model to your processes is called an appraisal.
The standard CMMI appraisal method for process improvement (SCAMPI) incorporates the best ideas of numerous process improvement appraisal methods.
