Stop Losing Bids to ISO-Certified Competitors

Your competitor just won the $500K contract you should have gotten. The technical evaluation was comparable. Your pricing was competitive. But the procurement scorecard gave them 15 points for CMMI certification - and you got zero. This is the third major bid you've lost this year to certified competitors. The pattern is clear: without CMMI certification, you can't compete for the opportunities your capabilities deserve.

Many ISO consultants will hand you generic templates, create documentation that doesn't reflect how you actually work, and leave you with a quality management system nobody follows. We don't work that way. In over 200 ISO certification projects across quality, environmental, safety, information security, and energy management standards, including integrated management systems addressing multiple standards, we've never had a client receive a Major finding or fail their certification audit. Not once. We achieve first-attempt certification in 3-6 months by building quality management systems tailored to your actual operations - not copying templates that create bureaucratic nightmares.

What is CMMI Certification?

CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Integration) is a process improvement framework that helps organizations improve their performance and capability through process maturity. Developed by the CMMI Institute, it provides a structured approach to process improvement with five maturity levels (Initial, Managed, Defined, Quantitatively Managed, Optimizing). Whether you're a software development company, IT services provider, systems engineering firm, or government contractor, CMMI appraisal demonstrates your organizational capability and is often required for federal contracts and DoD programs.

Why organizations pursue CMMI appraisal:

• Required or preferred for DoD software development contracts and federal IT programs
• Competitive advantage in government procurement and large-scale software projects
• Demonstrates process capability, predictability, and risk management to clients
• Improves project success rates, reduces defects, and increases productivity through process maturity

CMMI appraisal qualifies your organization for government contracts requiring process maturity, demonstrates capability excellence to federal agencies and enterprise clients, reduces project risk through systematic process management, and provides a roadmap for continuous performance improvement and organizational growth.
