CMMI is a performance enhancement model consisting of collected best practices that guide organizations to improve key capabilities and elevate performance. CMMI's five maturity levels provide IT organizations with a clear path for improvement. An appraisal at maturity Level 5 indicates that an organization is performing at an 'optimizing' level, continually improving its processes based on a quantitative understanding of its business objectives and performance needs, and continuously evolving to adapt to changing stakeholder and customer needs.

The highest rating (level 5) validates Infosys Public Services' ability to execute high-quality, complex IT programs on-time and within budget, and to help clients realize desired returns from their IT investments.
