CMMI - Capability Maturity Model Integration is a process improvement approach that provides organizations with the essential elements of effective processes. It can be used to guide process improvement across a project, a division, or an entire organization. CMMI helps integrate traditionally separate organizational functions, set process improvement goals and priorities, provide guidance for quality processes, and provide a point of reference for appraising current processes.

GEMADEC chose to invest in this process to standardize its procedures and to establish good practices covering the following areas: Requirements management - Project planning - Risks management....
  This is the best guarantee that GEMADEC can serve to its customers. Thus, standardization of procedures in a standard shared frame of reference and used by different engineers, was established a few months ago, and must be CMMI level 2 certified during 2009.
GEMADEC has developed indicators to measure the effectiveness of the process, which will be expanded over the time. All this in order to meet the explicit and implicit expectations of its customers.
