Johnston McLamb Achieves CMMI Maturity Level 3

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."
