Schaumburg, IL— AVIAN LLC today announced that it has been appraised at level 3 of ISACA’s Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI®). The appraisal was performed by BG Solutions and Services, LLC. CMMI is a proven, outcome-based performance model and the globally accepted standard for improving capability, optimizing business performance and aligning operations to business goals.
An appraisal at Maturity Level 3 indicates AVIAN 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.
AVIAN completed the appraisal with no weaknesses identified, maintaining a perfect record. This is a significant feat that few organizations achieve.
“We are thrilled with the progress and improvements we have achieved over the past three years. During this time, we have developed a deeper understanding of CMMI and successfully put its principles into practice,” said Robin Gatton, AVIAN’s Senior Director of Quality, “We look forward to continuing our journey of continuous improvement, building on the progress we have made, and further expanding our knowledge and application of CMMI.”
“Organizations worldwide are harnessing CMMI to elevate their business performance to new heights, creating a sustainable competitive advantage in the process” explained Ron Lear, VP, Frameworks and Models at ISACA. “We commend AVIAN on achieving this CMMI appraisal level and demonstrating their ability as a high-performing organization.”
