DCG Tailors to the Client Environment
At DCG we recognize the unique nature of corporate environments, process improvement history and business objectives. DCG’s CMMI® services provide particular value by always managing projects from the customers’ perspective.

1. For example, the geographically distributed and independent operational natures of client organizations often require innovative and adaptive interpretation of the CMMI. While never losing sight of the core CMMI disciplines and objectives, our consultants are able to draw on their extensive experience to structure approaches to achieving a successful appraisal that work in your unique environment. This is addressed in all aspects of DCG services including CMMI training and CMMI consulting.
2. Additionally, many organizations have already established project management and execution methodologies that have many elements consistent with the CMMI. We leverage your existing practices as much as possible, to accelerate your progress toward CMMI certification. For example, if you have already received Introduction to CMMI , we accomodate your level of experience and expertise in future training, such as SCAMPI Appraisal training.
3. We have significant experience in working with both software development and maintenance groups due to our industry leading function point analysis expertise, software measurement and software metrics practices. As a result, we well understand the need for simple processes that permit maintenance groups to provide quick, reliable fixes and enhancements to their customers. We know how important quick turnaround is to the survival of such groups and we always look for ways for maintenance organizations to satisfy both CMMI requirements and their customers’ needs.
4. Our clients also benefit from the unique opportunity to gain subscription access to our comprehensive CMMI Process library. This on-line Library contains an extensive set of CMMI process artifacts, which provide a high quality, cost-effective kick-start to your CMMI Level 2 or CMMI Level 3 initiative. The assets include Process Definitions, Templates, Guidelines and Checklists across the range of Process Areas defined for CMMI Levels 2 and 3.
