As difficult as it is to buy the right software, you’d think they’d call it hardware. You need to be an expert in how to buy software. You need to know how to write a software specification. For every business there are many problems or needs that can be addressed. Technology will only be able to solve certain problems. For every one of those there are many technologies that will work. For every technology there are many more products or solutions of that technology. And, for every product or solution there are that many more vendors. How do you know if the vendor you picked is even going to have a product, a technology or a solution that can solve your problem and that it's the right problem to solve with technology? First you need to figure out which business problems need to be solved. Then you need to narrow down which of those business problems can be solved with technology. After that you need to determine which technologies are the right ones to apply to solve those problems. Only then can you identify the technology product or solution to address those needs. Don't even think about talking to a developer or vendor until you've done these steps. CMMI can be applied to small companies and in agile development environments and methods.You can achieve a CMMI level rating even though you use XP (Extreme Programming) or another Agile Development approach or method.Looking for help implementing CMMI?

Entinex builds CMMI practices right into developers' everyday work. We work with Software companies to engineer their business processes so that they can continuously improve their ability to consistently and predictably get from estimates to actuals in the black. And in doing that, they are improving the consistency and predictability of delivering on their customers' expectations, on time and on budget. We are authorized by the Software Engineering Institute to train in and appraise software processes using the CMMI. Here's a little bit of what sets Entinex apart: - our process improvement experience comes from technology and software development, not from auding and quality control. - our approach integrates process improvement with everyday work, and - our approach expects business value and ROI from what we do, not the cash-draining burden that plagues the CMMI's reputation. So, whether or not a software company needs to specifically demonstrate their implementation of CMMI, Entinex can help them establish, maintain and improve their business processes to increase profitability and customer satisfaction.
