The successful appraisal provides independent verification of Nagarro's software process maturity as measured against an internationally accepted software industry standard. “Our focus has always been on improving our organizational standards and methodologies,” says Manmohan Gupta, Vice President, Technology, Nagarro Inc. “Our customers have always been satisfied with the quality of our processes and of our deliverables, but we have recently realized that the CMM certification is of additional value to them. This is just the first step in our drive to have independent organizations certify our process quality." Nagarro plans to apply for CMMI level 5 certification by the end of 2007.
Nagarro provides business solutions to industries such as finance, pharmaceuticals, telecom and manufacturing. It also provides product engineering services to software product companies.

Expressing satisfaction on the SEI-CMM 3 assessment, Manmohan Gupta, Vice President, Technology, Nagarro Inc, says: “Our continual focus on quality and our commitment to enhancing our organisational standards and methodologies has earned us the CMM 3 rating.” According to Gupta, the rating is a milestone in Nagarro’s journey towards process excellence. “The rating will reinforce the trust that our clients have envisaged in us. Our next goal should be to reach CMM 5 very soon,” he says.
“Having software development processes that meet these requirements is paramount to efficient and solid software development,” adds Gupta. The Level 3 rating is earned by achieving documented improvements in project planning and control with emphasis on documentation, standardization, and integration of practices on all projects.
Short for Capability Maturity Model, CMM is a model for the interpretation and application of Total Quality Management in the area of software development. The model is designed to help organizations identify best practices and enhance the maturity of their processes. CMM is essentially a process improvement model.
SEI is a research and development centre chartered to improve software engineering practices. The CMM rating is awarded after exhaustive independent evaluation involving analysis and review of software development capabilities, processes and products. This assessment is designed to help buyers evaluate and determine reliable and low-risk suppliers of software products and services.
The CMM rating is classified into five grades: elementary grade, repeatable grade, defined grade, managed grade and optimizing grade. The upgrade of the maturity shows that the planning of the manufacture of software is more accurate. CMM is now widely recognized the world over.
