RESTON, Va., March 21, 2008 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon Company (NYSE:
RTN) has renewed its Software Engineering Institute Capability Maturity
Model Integration (CMMI(R)) level 3 certification rating for services at
Raytheon Information Solutions' (RIS) operation in Pasadena, Calif.
Additionally, the division obtained level 3 certification for the
engineering processes in its Web solutions line of business.
CMMI is recognized worldwide as the standard by which businesses can
measure the maturity of their technical and managerial processes. The
levels indicate an organization's ability to provide predictable quality
while managing and controlling project risks.
"This is a significant achievement, and it's a testament to the
creativity and dedication of our talented team in Pasadena, our customers
and our partners who have successfully worked together to reach this
significant milestone," said TW Scott, RIS vice president.
RIS first attained CMMI Level 3 for services processes in 2004 and
later patented the methodology. The certification improves technical
processes at the Pasadena operation to effectively design, develop and
operate complex science, data and advanced information systems for NASA and
the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
RIS is a division of Garland, Texas-based Raytheon Intelligence and
Information Systems (IIS). In 2006, IIS reached a CMMI Level 3 benchmark
that only 3.5 percent of all appraisals recorded by the Carnegie Mellon
University Software Engineering Institute (SEI) meet. IIS is a leading
provider of information and intelligence solutions to the government. With
annual revenues of $2.7 billion, IIS employs more than 9,000 engineering
and technical professionals worldwide.
Raytheon Company, with 2007 sales of $21.3 billion, is a technology
leader specializing in defense, homeland security and other government
markets throughout the world. With a history of innovation spanning 85
years, Raytheon provides state-of-the-art electronics, mission systems
integration and other capabilities in the areas of sensing; effects; and
command, control, communications and intelligence systems, as well as a
broad range of mission support services. With headquarters in Waltham,
Mass., Raytheon employs 72,000 people worldwide.
Note to Editors:
CMMI maturity levels are increasingly used by government agencies and
contractors to evaluate the potential for organizations to produce quality
products on time and within budget. Independent, third party appraisers
reviewed Pasadena operations using the prescribed standard CMMI Service
Mark appraisal method for process improvement.
