New York, July 09: Tata Interactive Systems, one of the world`s leading developer of custom e-learning products, has become the sixth company in the world to receive a maturity level 5 rating under the people capability maturity model (P-CMM) framework laid down by Carnegie Mellon University`s Software Engineering Institute.
New York, July 09: Tata Interactive Systems, one of the world's leading developer of custom e-learning
products, has become the sixth company in the world to receive a maturity level 5 rating under the people capability maturity model (P-CMM) framework laid down by Carnegie Mellon University's Software Engineering Institute.
The prestigious level 5 ranking -- the highest possible in the P-CMM system -- recognizes Tata's world-
class ability to optimize internal processes that attract, motivate, and retain the best employees in a given industry.
"Being the only e-learning company and one of the very few organizations in the world to achieve P-CMM level 5 is an outstanding achievement, one of which we are justifiably proud," said Manoj Kutty, senior vice president-North America and director of Tata Interactive's US operations.
"This assessment gives our clients objective evidence that Tata Interactive has built competencies at the highest possible levels in both software processes and human asset management," he said. Since their release in 1995, thousands of copies of the SEI's 735-page P-CMM protocols have been distributed around the world. Only six companies have achieved P-CMM level 5 during that time -- a testimonial to the difficulty in reaching the model's highest designation.
Adding to Tata Interactive's achievement is the fact that the company has satisfied the requirements of P-CMM version 2, a more challenging iteration of the framework.
The P-CMM from Carnegie Mellon's Software Engineering Institute helps organizations characterize the maturity of their workforce practices, establish a programme of continuous workforce development, set priorities for improvement, integrate workforce development with process improvement, and establish a culture of excellence. Levels of competence range from maturity level 1 (initial) to maturity level 5 (optimizing).
Reaching level 5, according to the P-CMM protocols, means the organization has the "profound, quantitative knowledge to make continuous improvements in its processes." Bureau Report
