Hi!
It’s been a long time since my last post. We’ve been very busy in rolling out Stages to new customers, caring for existing customers, entering new markets and adding exciting new features to our solution.
One of the things we focussed on was finding new partners that have complementary solutions to Stages. And we’ve been successful.
At the SEPG NA in Savannah, the world leading conference on CMMI and engineering process management, we will announce a partnership with Integrated Systems Diagnostics (ISD). They are a leading and well respected player in the CMMI area and we are very proud to be able to partner with them. Here is the official press release.
Now what were the reasons, why ISD and Method Park decided to partner? Because ISD’s conference parties have always been the SEPG highlight?!? Well, maybe… This year we will co-sponsor, so join us in Savannah! Contact me for an invitation.
Seriously, ISD has a toolsuite that seamlessly complements our current offering. Together with their Appraisal Wizard / Model Wizard tools, we are able to provide customers with an integrated solution that covers the full cycle of process definition, deployment, performance, control, appraisals and improvement. Our joint toolchain is fully multimodel capable so customers who are required to meet multiple process standards will save tremendous efforts in implementation.
ISD’s Integrated Solution Framework (ISF) is an exciting new framework for organizing and correlating components of best practice reference models and industry standards across all organizational areas. Following an Open Source approach, experts in each model or standard are able to establish an agreed mapping of components within the ISF framework. The framework can be extended as needed to accommodate new concepts.
Our joint whitepaper “Effectively Managing Process Compliance” describes the benefits for customers that will use our integrated approach. It will be released next week. Please contact me for receiving your personal copy.
Those of you who are also visiting the SEPG next week, please let me know so we could arrange a personal meeting. And a beer in the evening
