PSL achieves CMMI level 5
Medellín, Colombia, July 25 , 2003

Dear clients, friends and business allies,

Today, PSL has been officially assessed at CMMI level 5, the Software Engineering Institute’s (SEI) highest level in CMM Integration Model. The SCAMPI A assessment was conducted by a SEI authorized North America based company.

CMMI is the most recent model developed by Carnegie Mellon’s SEI, and embodies the world’s state-of-the-art practices in software (SW-CMM) and systems engineering (SE-CMM). CMMI level 5 is significantly more demanding than the prestigious SW-CMM level 5, previously attained by PSL in December 2002.

Until today, only 7 companies in the world had announced the achievement of CMMI in its highest echelon (level 5), namely: Lockheed Martin Management & Data Systems, General Electric, Infotech, Infosys, Wipro Technologies, SSI Technologies, and Larsen. PSL now joins this highly select group. This remarkable achievement makes Colombia, together with the United States and India, one of only three countries in the world housing industries that fulfill this maturity level in CMMI.

Attaining CMMI level 5 reinforces our promise to deliver "first-world software at third world prices". Our achievement validates PSL’s unfaltering commitment to offer second-to-none software development services, offshore services, and products, that will meet or exceed our client’s expectations.

Our achievements in CMM, CMMI, Six Sigma and ISO are living proofs that our company has the potential to innovate, and become pioneer in areas that are redefining the frontiers of human knowledge. Underdevelopment is a cultural problem, not an economic one. The potential to overcome it lies in the conviction and dedication of a group of determined individuals who embrace a common goal, and will not let the paradigms of the world dictate what they can or cannot accomplish.

To our clients, business allies and friends, rest assured that we will not falter in our quest for quality, productivity and performance. At PSL, excellence is a process of constantly challenging our own capacities and overtaking our previous accomplishments –after all, one of the few certainties of the modern world is that it will not cease to outpace itself.

Best regards,

Jorge Aramburo

CEO, PSL Corporation
