Apr 01, 2002
LUXOFT, a leading Russian software development company, has been assessed at Level 4 of the Capability Maturity Model- (CMM) established by the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA. SEI SW-CMM- is an industry-standard benchmark to assess an organization's software development process and methodologies.
The significant aspect of this achievement is the enterprise-wide scope of the assessment, including all the software developed and maintained by LUXOFT. The Level 4 assessment validates LUXOFT repeatable, defined and managed software development processes and puts LUXOFT amongst the best organizations in the software industry worldwide. The independent SEI-authorized Lead Assessors Bernard Heritier and Jacques Joubert from ALSTOM led a team of four LUXOFT internal assessors through a full CMM-Based Appraisal for Internal Process Improvement (CBA - IPI) reviewing LUXOFT projects in-depth to confirm the organization's Level 4 achievement. The SEI ratings, developed by Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, Pa., assist customers in determining reliable and low-risk suppliers of software products and services. SEI maturity ratings are earned through an exhaustive independent evaluation involving analysis and review of a company's software development capability, processes and products.
"We were impressed to find project management standards so vigorously supported with quality assurance procedures," said Bernard Heritier, SEI-Authorized Lead Assessor, Alstom. "A visible commitment to process discipline by senior management, a track record of successful projects and business growth led to the SEI SW-CMM Level 4 certification for the entire LUXOFT organization."

"It distinguishes LUXOFT as an organization dedicated to the successful, on-time and on-budget application of information technology to address the strategic business needs of our clients."
