ACS Honored for Performance Excellence with CMMI Level 3 Rating

Nov 30, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. (ACS) announced that its Education Solutions business unit has achieved the Software Engineering Institute's Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) Maturity Level 3 rating on software development projects.

The rating highlights ACS' continued performance excellence and ability to deliver to its clients by improving business processes.

CMMI is an internationally recognized approach that provides organizations with the elements essential for process improvement. A Level 3 rating ensures that standard processes are in place and used to establish consistency of process performance.

ACS' Education Solutions business unit supports servicing and collections for the federal government's student loan programs, managing the business operations of $175 billion in loans to more than 12 million borrowers. To achieve CMMI Level 3, an independent appraisal team reviewed standard processes as well as a sampling of current software development projects. The processes and projects were reviewed for the software development lifecycle, including project planning, requirements development, design, software development, testing, implementation and configuration management.

"The CMMI Level 3 rating reflects the commitment to quality that ACS has provided in serving the Department of Education for 15 years," said Tim Conway, senior vice president and managing director, ACS Federal Solutions line of business. "The CMMI maturity framework will continue to be used to improve our processes so ACS can better serve its clients." Earlier this year, ACS' Office of the CIO received a CMMI Level 3 designation for its corporate quality management system for technology implementations deployed for ACS' commercial and government clients, focusing on eight projects in the Government Healthcare Solutions line of business.
