CMI employs a disciplined approach to ensure the successful implementation of your chosen CM tool. This approach is based on proven methods that have had successful outcomes at a number of existing CMI clients. CMI analyzes the current development environment and develops a Tool Implementation plan that makes sense for your organization's culture and technical requirements.

We work with the client's management and staff to make the Tool Implementation seamless and non-intrusive. A wealth of past successes contributes to the accurate development of a Tool Implementation plan. The Tool Implementation plan will include time estimates, resource numbers and skills, and project schedule. CMI works closely with the tool vendors to ensure that your Tool Implementation conforms with the intended usage of the tool. CMI facilitates the appropriate training to provide your staff with the knowledge and skill needed to use the chosen CM tool effectively.

The CMI Tool Implementation is an invaluable service for organizations that are considering a CM tool rollout or CM tool conversion. The Tool Implementation process considers all aspects of a quality CM environment in accordance with Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineering (IEEE) CM standards: configuration identification, configuration control, status accounting, audit and review. The Tool Implementation will also consider adherence to the Capability Maturity Model® (CMM) recommended Software Configuration Management common features. In all, the CMI Tool Implementation service will provide your organization with the right way to use the tool in accordance with your needs for version control, change management, build management, release management and document management.
