(Capability Maturity Model), developed by the Software Engineering
Institute, have been in place for fifteen years and are being adopted
by an increasing number of companies worldwide.

According to Jesús Serrano, GMV’s Managing
Director, “obtaining CMMI level 3 represents the culmination of a four
year planned process in which the whole organization has been involved.
Today we have more mature processes, we are able to predict the future
in a more accurate manner and we have got tools and metrics that are
helping us to improve the way we work. Our next step will be to evolve
to higher levels of maturity and to achieve CMMI level 5 within a three
to four years timeframe.”
