Rockville, MD – June 4, 2009 – TurningPoint Global Solutions, a software engineering and information technology (IT) professional services firm, today announced that it has achieved Maturity Level 3 in the Software Engineering Institute's (SEI) Capability Maturity Model^® Integration for Development (CMMI-DEV), Version 1.2. An SEI-approved independent appraiser conducted the Standard CMMI Appraisal Method for Process Improvement (SCAMPI)-A Level 3, following Staged Representation, from May 27-June 4 2009.

This appraisal means that TurningPoint successfully demonstrated a standardized approach to 18 distinct system development process areas, and applies these processes across all development projects. Whereas CMMI Level 2 defines 7 process areas, CMMI Maturity Level 3 defines an additional 11 process areas and therefore provides a greater degree of rigor and consistency in process execution. In addition to their CMMI Maturity Level 3 assessment, TurningPoint promotes organizational improvement through such initiatives as successful completion of an audit by the Defense Contract Auditing Agency (DCAA) and using Earned Value Management (EVM) methods. Moreover, TurningPoint adheres to IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) version 3 policies and procedures.
