iGATE Corporation (iGATE or the Company) (Nasdaq:IGTE), the first
integrated Technology and Operations (iTOPS) company providing
Business Outcomes based solutions under the brand iGATE Patni,
today announced that it has been successfully appraised and rated
at maturity level 5, of the People CMM® - a framework from the
Software Engineering Institute (SEI), USA that comprises
state-of-the-art, best practices for Human Capital Management.
The appraisal was conducted by a 10 member team led by Rajesh
Naik, a SEI-authorized SCAMPI-A Lead Appraiser from QAI India Ltd.
The scope of the appraisal was IT Delivery and Business Enabling
Functions of their Bangalore unit.
Commenting on this achievement, Dr. Srinivas Kandula,
Global Head-HR, iGATE said, "We started our journey in
January 2008 and are happy that we are now operating at the highest
level of PCMM®. Our primary purpose of adopting this model was to
build our HR practices using a globally recognized framework. I am
pleased that this has helped us adopt the most scientific approach
in building and managing our people practices and in better
alignment of HR with the outcomes-based business model of the
Company."
Maturity Level 5 indicates that the organization is performing
at an "optimizing" level. At this level, an organization
continually improves its people processes based on a quantitative
understanding of its process performance in relation to its
business needs. The organization uses a quantitative approach to
understand the variation inherent in the people processes and the
causes of process outcomes.
Rajesh Naik, who led the appraisal team said,
"iGATE has a significant number of best practices that others can
learn from. Their methods of managing people's performance through
their competency framework, career planning techniques and
knowledge management methodologies are exemplary. The rating at
maturity level 5 bears testimony to their quest for continuous
improvement and to implement global best practices within the
organisation."
With the continuous improvement of its People processes, iGATE
has also, over the last year, received the 'Practice of Excellence'
award from ASTD (www.astd.org) for its Competency based
