Booz Allen Hamilton can help your IT organization meet the challenges of today’s progressively complex systems environment.

Booz Allen: Beyond the Appraisal

Many IT organizations look to process improvement as an effective way to reduce costs, improve quality, and enhance IT staff morale.  Booz Allen knows this first hand because we’ve made the journey with our own IT organization, designing and implementing an organization standard process and successfully achieving and maintaining a CMMI®  Level 3 appraisal.  We understand, though, that not everyone wants or needs a CMMI®-compliant program.  

Booz Allen can help IT organizations realize the benefits that result from process improvement, however formal or informal the initiative.  Our breadth and depth of experience and expertise facilitate institutionalization of IT process improvements in our clients’ IT organizations. We combine these strengths with a commitment to client service to help our clients optimize their enterprise-wide IT processes. We are at the forefront of industry through our active partnership with the Software Engineering Institute in piloting new process improvement standards, methods, and technologies. Our leadership in international standards organizations enables us to deliver process consulting based on a broad range of recognized process improvement methodologies.

Our Software and Systems Process Improvement Services

There are no “one size fits all” solutions for implementing process improvement initiatives.  Organizations have unique challenges, different environments, varying constraints, and may be at different phases in their process improvement journeys.  Some organizations may want a broad comprehensive process improvement strategy, while others may need to focus on specific functional areas, such as quality assurance, project management, or measurement and analysis. 

Booz Allen tailors the approach and capabilities to your IT organization’s specific requirements. In selecting the tools and techniques that are right for your IT organization, we draw from a process consulting toolkit that includes all of the necessary components for meeting your process improvement needs.

Booz Allen’s proven approach balances practical implementation with “black belt” model and standards expertise. Let us help you achieve success by moving beyond passing an appraisal to true enterprise institutionalization.
