Indianapolis, Indiana, December 2, 2009 - HighPoint Global announced today that it has achieved a CMMI® (Capability Maturity Model Integration) Level 3 appraisal rating for project planning and project monitoring and control.

Developed by the Software Engineering Institute (SEI SM) at Carnegie Mellon University, CMMI is an internationally recognized and acclaimed model that is used for assessing and improving software development and systems engineering capabilities. When properly applied, the model ensures that projects are accurately defined, managed, and implemented, thereby increasing the likelihood that requirements are met and goals achieved within established timelines and budgets.

"It demonstrates our continued commitment to providing the highest quality project management and IT services that help enable our clients to deliver superior quality products and services."

Since 1984, the SEI has served the nation as a federally funded research and development center. The SEI staff has advanced software engineering principles and practices and has served as a national resource in software engineering, computer security, and process improvement. As part of Carnegie Mellon University, the SEI operates at the leading edge of technical innovation.
