Raising the Bar for Quality

Powertek is committed to providing exceptional technology and business consulting services, with an emphasis on value, quality, security, and performance excellence. Through our Quality Management System (QMS), we proactively assess project performance and continually improve service delivery and product quality throughout our organization, validating Powertek's commitment as a "process focused" organization. We have successfully aligned our industry quality credentials (i.e., ISO 9001:2008, ISO 20000-1, CMMI Maturity Level 3, and other best practices) to consistently provide repeatable processes.

Our dedication to service excellence is reflected in our industry-recognized certifications and ratings; maintaining these credentials represents a continuing testament of our Executive Management's commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.

Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI)

Powertek received CMMI Level 3 rating from the Software Engineering Institute (SEI). We earned this CMMI rating through a Standard CMMI Appraisal Method for Process Improvement (SCAMPI) appraisal led by an SEI-authorized lead evaluator from Process Works.

The appraisal involved extensive reviews of Powertek's software development and project management processes, training, and tools. The CMMI Level 3 rating demonstrates that we consistently use best practices, enhancing our ability to design and build systems better, faster, and more cost-effectively.
