processMax® Now Provides Guaranteed SW-CMM® Compliance on GSA Schedule
Level 2 and Level 3 SW-CMM Compliance now even
easier to obtain for government agencies
Reston,
VA--September 5, 2000--pragma SYSTEMS CORPORATION announced today
that it has been awarded schedule contract number GS-35F-0620K, by the
General Services Administration for providing its software project management
product, processMax, and related services to the Federal Government.
processMax is the only product on the market that offers guaranteed
compliance with the Capability Maturity Model(R) for Software (SW-CMM),
a standard used worldwide to assess the capabilities of software development
organizations.
Rebecca Bowerman, President and CEO of pragma SYSTEMS CORPORATION,
said, "This is an exciting time for us and for our Federal customers.
The GSA schedule vastly simplifies the process for procuring processMax,
and allows Federal agencies to achieve compliance with the Capability
Maturity Model for Software even sooner. Federal agencies are increasingly
requiring SW-CMM compliance of both their software contractors and their
internal software development. The ability to buy processMax
through the GSA Schedule speeds these agencies toward a guaranteed solution
that enables them to reach this goal."
processMax
allows software organizations to effectively and efficiently manage
software development and maintenance projects with the power of their
intranet web. Using a role-based approach to management of software
development, processMax provides managers and developers with
step-by-step procedures, integrated document management, and automated
workflow. processMax enables increased productivity, fewer defects,
and reduced risk.
pragma SYSTEMS CORPORATION guarantees that organizations using
processMax2 and processMax3 will be found compliant with
Level 2/Level 3 of the SW-CMM by an independent CMM-Based Appraisal
for Internal Process Improvement (CBA IPI) or Software Capability Evaluation.
pragma SYSTEMS has been in the CMM-based assessment and improvement
business since 1990, and is the market leader in CMM-compliant software
management products. pragma SYSTEMS' headquarters are located
in Reston, Virginia.
