Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) is a process level improvement training and appraisal program.

Administered by the CMMI Institute, a subsidiary of ISACA, it was developed at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU).

It is required by many U.S. Government contracts, especially in software development.

CMU claims CMMI can be used to guide process improvement across a project, division, or an entire organization.

CMMI defines the following maturity levels for processes: Initial, Managed, Defined, Quantitatively Managed, and Optimizing.

Version 2.0 was published in 2018 (Version 1.3 was published in 2010, and is the reference model for the rest of the information in this article).

CMMI is registered in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office by CMU.

The ISO 9000 family is a set of five quality management systems (QMS) standards by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that help organizations ensure they meet customer and other stakeholder needs within statutory and regulatory requirements related to a product or service.

ISO 9000 deals with the fundamentals of QMS, including the seven quality management principles that underlie the family of standards.

ISO 9001 deals with the requirements that organizations wishing to meet the standard must fulfill.

ISO 9002 is a model for quality assurance in production and installation.

ISO 9003 for quality assurance in final inspection and test.

ISO 9004 gives guidance on achieving sustained organizational success.

ISO/IEC 27001 is an international standard to manage information security.

The standard was originally published jointly by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) in 2005, revised in 2013, and again most recently in 2022.

There are also numerous recognized national variants of the standard.

It details requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving an information security management system (ISMS) – the aim of which is to help organizations make the information assets they hold more secure.

Organizations that meet the standard's requirements can choose to be certified by an accredited certification body following successful completion of an audit.

The effectiveness of the ISO/IEC 27001 certification process and the overall standard has been addressed in a large-scale study conducted in 2020.

Enterprise software, also known as enterprise application software (EAS), is computer software used to satisfy the needs of an organization rather than individual users.

Such organizations include businesses, schools, interest-based user groups, clubs, charities, and governments.

Enterprise software is an integral part of a computer-based information system.

Outsourcing is an agreement in which one company hires another company to be responsible for a planned or existing activity which otherwise is or could be carried out internally, i.e. in-house, and sometimes involves transferring employees and assets from one firm to another.

The term outsourcing, which came from the phrase outside resourcing, originated no later than 1981.

The concept, which The Economist says has "made its presence felt since the time of the Second World War", often involves the contracting out of a business process (e.g., payroll processing, claims processing), operational, and/or non-core functions, such as manufacturing, facility management, call center/call center support.
