Client Value ServicesDevelopment process assessmentOn-Fire evaluates a company’s software / hardware development effectiveness by applying the Software Engineering Institute’s Capability Maturity Model (SEI-CMM-CMMI) framework. This assessment framework has been used by thousands of companies and has yielded an extensive body of best practices and benchmark results. Our extensive experience in sequencing assessment findings for rapid, measurable results is a distinctive capability and distinguishes us from companies that perform assessments.
