ABSi's software development processes have been assessed at CMM Level 2. Our Global development partners are assessed at Level 5, the highest possible rating that is only achieved by a small percentage of IT organizations worldwide. This provides strong assurance of high quality software (i.e., lowest possible software defects) and the strongest possible compliance to defined requirements. It also provides an effective framework for management to track progress and to receive early metrics-based warnings of potential implementation problems. During the project we vigorously mange "by the numbers" so there are no surprises for our clients at the end, when software deliveries are made.
