e-Business centric organization and the youngest ever globally to be assessed on
the People Capability Maturity Model (People-CMM), with a Level 3 maturity
rating.
The Level 3 maturity rating, granted under the People-CMM framework developed
by Carnegie Mellon University's Software Engineering Institute, is expected to
enhance key metrics for TechSpan such as new business acquisition, operations
scalability, resource utilization, talent acquisition and retention, and
strengthen software delivery capabilities. TechSpan is simultaneously engaged in
achieving Software-CMM rating, later this year.
TechSpan India, CEO, Harsh Singh Lohit, said, "We, at TechSpan, realized
that people-related challenges of the software business specifically stretch far
beyond recruiting and retention. Agility in responding to continual change in
technological and business conditions was critical to success. The People
Process Initiative for People-CMM has helped TechSpan create an environment
where employee knowledge and skills can make rapid adjustments to changing
customer requirements. While pursuing People-CMM, we have not only doubled our
strength in India, but added competencies in Quality Assurance and Testing
Services (QA), Enterprise Application Integration (EAI), with emphasis on IBM
technologies, Maintenance, Porting and Migration Services. In terms of a
singular measurement, our attrition is amongst the lowest in the industry.
Overall, the People-CMM provides TechSpan with a framework for expansion,
scalability and sustenance of our offshore business."
TechSpan underwent assessment for People-CMM with the Quality Assurance
Institute (QAI), a joint venture of QAI, USA, and the first organization to
offer CMM Assessments commercially in Asia. The assessment process was led by
Lead Assessor Ajay Batra (the fifth accredited joint Lead Assessor worldwide for
Software-CMM and PCMM in the world and the first qualified assessor in Asia),
along with eight members of TechSpan staff.
Commenting on TechSpan's assessment, SEI certified People-CMM Lead Assessor,
Ajay Batra, said, "The Level 3 rating factually confirms my impression of
TechSpan as a vibrant, positive and dedicated company. Its level of maturity is
a result of its belief in ceaseless investments in people and processes."
