2010-09-18
CHANTILLY, VA, September 18, 2010 (Press-News.org) Johnston McLamb announced today that they have achieved the prestigious Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI ) Maturity Level (ML) 3 rating from the Carnegie Mellon Software Engineering Institute (SEISM). Recently growing out of the U.S. Small Business Administration small business designation, the management and technology consulting firm has become part of an elite tier of businesses to have achieved this SEI designation. With a focus on the federal sector, Johnston McLamb specializes in geospatial solutions, data visualization, business intelligence (BI) and large scale data management.

This recognized standard of quality carries many benefits to Johnston McLamb's government and commercial customers. The CMMI level 3 rating is independent validation that the company has standardized, defined and documented processes in their consulting operations practice. That practice is responsible for all project management and customer delivery across the organization. This rating indicates repeatability, predictability and consistency in performance and delivery.

"Process is fundamental to every facet of our organization. So, too, is our culture of collaboration and involvement, which was clearly demonstrated at all phases as we worked to achieve this rating," said Wendy Henry, vice president and chief operating officer of Johnston McLamb. "Process improvement is a continuous endeavor for us, and our team is always advancing based on lessons learned."

During the appraisal, the company demonstrated their organization-wide commitment to standardizing and achieving compliance. They identified and enforced key performance indicators for delivery directors and senior managers. They also leveraged existing internal resources and were recognized by the appraisal team for their ability to use these tools during the process.

"Although we recently received the CMMI rating, we have effectively been operating at maturity level 3 for some time," said Henry. "The rating is a very significant accomplishment for an organization of our size, both in terms of effort and cost, but we believe it's well worth the investment. It further differentiates us as a top caliber business and technology consulting firm. We know it will position us to continue to be a sought- after service provider and partner for our GIS, business intelligence, facilities management, data visualization and large scale data management solutions."

Insurance Companies Shamelessly Profit From The Death of Servicemembers

2010-09-18
Who should be allowed to profit from the death of Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines? The question is almost so appalling as to be absurd. And yet, those are the accusations made by family members, that insurance companies are taking advantage of the death of military personnel to make substantial profits on their life insurance proceeds. Prudential Financial Inc. is a government contractor handling term life insurance policies for military personnel; it is called Servicemember Group Life Insurance (SGLI).When servicemembers die, though, the company does not pay ...

With The Housing Market In Shambles, Who Will Pay?

2010-09-18
Although the real estate market began its collapse several years ago, banks and lenders continue to sort out the related issues today. According to the New York Times, during the real estate boom years banks nationwide lent homeowners more than approximately a trillion dollars in the form of home equity loans. These loans were secured solely by the value of homes, which once seemed to increase without bound. As home values rapidly declined, though, so did the ability and willingness of these homeowners to repay their home equity loans. The American Bankers Association ...

Social Media in Divorce Proceedings

2010-09-18
New social media such as Facebook, MySpace and Twitter have provided a forum for many of us to interact with friends. Whether catching up with friends with whom we may have lost touch, sharing pictures of our families or our weekend adventures, or using the media to brag or "vent" about something we feel strongly about, social media allows us the ability to do all of this and more. While this may seem like innocent fun, many are finding out that what is posted or "tweeted" on or through these media sites can and will be used against them in family court. In a world ...

Workers' Compensation and Social Media Sabotage in New York

2010-09-18
Workers' compensation helps many employees injured on the job to heal without the threat of financial ruin. These workers face an inability to work coupled with unexpected medical bills; luckily the workers' compensation system helps them to stay afloat. Unfortunately, some people abuse the system by exaggerating the extent of their injuries or by providing evidence for an injury that did not actually occur. These dishonest few have made it more difficult for employees with real injuries, who are now watched with critical eyes. While social media websites like Facebook ...

Spikes in Auto Recalls: Is the Auto Industry Growing More Cautious?

2010-09-18
Automakers have recalled nearly 20 million vehicles in the past year, including some recalls involving marginal safety risks. The spike in recalls prompts industry observers to wonder if manufacturers have become more concerned with safety, whether they're under pressure from an energized federal watchdog or whether they're simply doing all they can to avoid the damaging publicity Toyota endured during its massive recalls late in 2009 and early this year. In the first half of 2010, carmakers recalled 10.2 million vehicles, according to the Detroit News. That's about ...

FDA Warns Use of Reglan Can Lead to Uncontrollable Facial Movements

2010-09-18
Of all the various rules, regulations and warnings issued by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the most serious is a black box warning. The name refers to text that must appear in a black box on the drug package insert, warning users of very serious side effects. In February 2009 the FDA released a black box warning for metoclopramide, better known in the U.S. by its trade name of Reglan. Prolonged use of Reglan has been associated with tardive dyskinesia, a muscular disorder in which the patient has frequent uncontrollable movements of the face and mouth, ...

Toyota Issues Yet Another Recall

In the wake more than 1,000 complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Toyota is recalling more than 1.1 million Corolla and Matrix vehicles, model years 2005-2008.
