Company Certifications

ISO Certifications
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is a non-governmental organization that promulgates standards for processes and procedures to be followed in developing services and products for client deliverables, including the use and application of tools and methodologies. Acuity holds the following ISO Certifications:

ISO 9001:2008
Acuity’s dedication to the highest standards of quality is reflected in its achievement and annual renewal of ISO 9001:2008 certification. The ISO 9000 series addresses quality standards and emphasizes proactive quality assurance in addition to conventional, but more reactive, quality control. Quality assurance enables us to avoid problems before they occur, rather than scrambling to resolve them mid-project, saving our clients both time and money, and enabling entire project teams to make better use of staff resources.
ISO 20000-1: 2011
ISO 20000 is the international standard for IT service management. ISO 20000 comprises two distinct documents that form a top-down framework to define the features of service management processes that are essential for the delivery of high quality services: 1) a specification for a service management system and 2) a code of practice.
ISO 27001:2005
The ISO 27000 addresses information security standards. These standards provide best practice recommendations for information security management, risks, and controls within the context of an overall information security management system.

CMMI Certifications

CMMI Level 3
CMMI is a standard software development and process improvement approach that measures an organization’s ability to apply process-based methodology to software development. CMMI integrates the entire spectrum of software development, including engineering, testing, and project management.
