The Highest tier of CMMI Multi-Model Version 3.0, awarded for both Development and
Services in a single integrated appraisal.

The findings address a question every CIO and CTO is asking: can AI-native engineering
meet the predictability, governance, and quality standards of production at enterprise
scale? CMMI Level 5 provides an answer. It is awarded only when an organization 
can prove maturity through quantitative measurement, statistical process control,
and continuous improvement, with consistency held to the standard the work demands.

For Ascendion clients, the appraisal corroborates what production already shows.
The same engineering system delivers AI-driven access to care for 39 million Americans
across all 50 states with zero downtime, running 650+ AAVA™ agents in a regulated
environment. It is the same delivery system that, after a £50M failed transformation,
protected 5.2 million customers at a 200-year-old UK bank by mapping the architecture
in weeks and delivering 50–75% velocity gains on the rebuild. CMMI Level 5 is the
discipline behind outcomes like these.

The appraisal covered Ascendion’s global delivery operations and its 11,000+ engineering
professionals, spanning six industry verticals, eight technology practices. Strategic
development and support and testing functions were all also in scope for the assessment.

"CMMI Level 5 is the highly delivery standard in our industry, so this is incredibly
meaningful for all of us and impactful for our global clients," said **Radhakrishnan
Rajagopalan, Chief Delivery & Technology Officer at Ascendion**. "This recognition
includes clients receiving services from AI agents, so this reflects the discipline
and consistency with which we build and run our AI-native engineering systems. As
AI becomes more deeply embedded in how we deliver, our focus is on maintaining the
highest standards of execution to ensure we deliver business impact. This recognition
reflects the maturity of how we deliver Engineering to the Power of AI."

CMMI is a globally recognized framework for measuring and improving organizational
performance. Maturity Level 5, the highest tier, is awarded for performance managed
through data, quantitative techniques applied to process management, and continuously
improved systems that deliver consistency, quality, and predictability.
