Wind River achieves CMMI Level 3 appraisal

Wind River completed a CMMI SCAMPI ‘A’ appraisal and achieved a CMMI Capability Level 3 in 18 process areas, resulting in a CMMI Maturity Level 3. This appraisal further builds on Wind River’s past CMMI Level 3 achievements; the first of which was attained in 2006. This rating is highly valued by a wide range of industries, including the automotive, aerospace and defence markets and other segments where design, development and certification processes are of paramount importance.

CMMI is a capability improvement approach that provides organisations with the essential elements of effective processes that ultimately improve their performance.

Wind River's global automotive solutions organisation spans five continents and employs a vast assemblage of automotive focused engineers and technologists. The group includes dedicated software development, system integration, and applications teams, as well as a programme management office team dedicated to developing best practices for rapid development and deployment of high quality automotive software solutions.

For more than 30 years, Wind River has offered among the industry’s most comprehensive embedded software portfolios as well as development and education services designed to help customers attain a competitive advantage. As a CMMI Level 3–rated organisation, Wind River Professional Services can help companies bring safe, secure and reliable intelligent systems to market, delivering across the entire range of the planning, development, and management process.

“Increasing software complexity and shorter development timelines are creating new competitive pressures for companies,” said Amit Ronen, Senior Vice President of professional services, Wind River. “Our CMMI Level 3 appraisal further reinforces Wind River’s commitment to delivering world class services and support; and demonstrates that our teams are implementing proven processes and industry expertise to help customers meet evolving market demands and mitigate themselves against development risks.”

“As software continues to become a more critical component in today's connected vehicles, companies will need to achieve greater levels of software maturity in order to address the increasing complexity, accelerated time-to-market and safety-related demands of next-gen automotive software,” commented Michael Krutz, Senior Vice President of automotive solutions, Wind River. “The Wind River automotive practice has maintained these high levels of software and process maturity for many years and understands the evolving needs of this industry.”
