SYSTEMS
CORPORATION
today announced
that the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has chosen processMax3 to support the management of its software projects
in compliance with Level 3 of the Capability Maturity Modelâ
for Software (SW-CMMâ).
The DEA purchased processMax3 off the General Services Administration (GSA) Schedule.
“The
DEA recognized the proven success of processMax and the potential to accelerate DEA’s timetable for becoming
compliant with SW-CMM,” said Rebecca Bowerman, President and CEO of pragma
SYSTEMS. “Achieving compliance with Level 3 of the SW-CMM is a priority
of the DEA. The availability of processMax on the GSA Schedule allowed the agency to put processMax in place sooner so they could
begin operating immediately at Level 3 of the SW-CMM.”
With
processMax, software organizations
manage software development and maintenance projects with the power of
their intranet web. Using a role-based approach to the management of software
development, processMax provides
