Liveware’s CHMLA performed a Gap Analysis in one of Trinity’s (UK partner company) customers. The result was praised by the customer POC. We quote: “Jorge,  Many thanks for your time, energy and, most of all your deep insight. I have received very positive feedback in the last couple of days and we believe that the results of the week and your summary in particular, will significantly accelerate our progress and understanding.”

We want to help companies achieve their goals. We believe that process improvement is the road, and that the CMMI is the framework.

Jorge addressed the subject “When Good Enough Makes a Project Early Enough or: Don’t Try to Be On Time!” This meeting was jointly sponsored by the Austin IEEE Computer Society. The presentation is already in Slide Share.

The presentation was very well received. All comments were positive. One of them (on the session) read: ‘one of the best in the last few years’. We look forward to perform more presentations for our colleagues, since they do so much for our self esteem!
