ROCHESTER, NY — Feb. 19, 2020 — Sutherland, the digital transformation company, today announced that Sutherland Healthcare IT has been appraised at CMMI (Development and Services V1.3) Maturity Level 5 – the highest level attainable – of the CMMI Institute’s Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI®). CMMI is a capability improvement framework that provides organizations with the essential elements of effective processes that ultimately improve their performance.
"I am extremely pleased with the progress we’ve made in the past 18 months in improving our performance and processes,” said Srinivas Rao, senior vice president and global head of Technology Services at Sutherland. “This appraisal at Maturity Level 5 by CMMI Institute is a testament to the focus and dedication of each and every member of the team.”
Appraisal at CMMI Maturity Level 5 indicates the organization is performing at an “Optimizing” level. At this stage of maturity, the organization is focused on continuous improvement of processes based on a quantitative understanding of its business objectives and performance needs. Level 5 organizations are built to pivot and respond to opportunity and change, and their stability provides a platform for agility and innovation.
In June 2018, Sutherland Healthcare IT embarked on its journey to achieve the Level 5 rating, focusing on building a culture of continuous improvement. The achievement allows Sutherland Healthcare IT to strengthen its differentiation in the marketplace and reap many long-term benefits, including increased customer satisfaction through better quality and less rework, resulting in higher levels of customer retention and growth.
Sutherland’s official CMMI® V1.3 multi-model (Development + Services) appraisal was conducted by CUNIX Infotech, a CMMI® Institute Partner, onsite from Nov. 4 through Nov. 16, 2019.
