PYXIS Systems International, Inc. principals have managed and consulted across the process areas defined in both the CMMI^® and the CMM^® for Software.  Our primary client, Northrop Grumman, has utilized PYXIS Systems International, Inc. skills to define their software processes to achieve CMMI^® Level 5 and their integrated enterprise processes to include systems engineering, hardware design, program management and support as well as teaming across disciplines through CMMI^® level 3.  PYXIS Systems International, Inc. has also helped our Northrop Grumman customer apply the various process areas of the CMMI^® on projects.  Starting with the engineering processes, PYXIS Systems International, Inc. has supplied mentoring to projects to facilitate transition from the concept to the practice.  Leading them from requirements management and development to understand, define, derive, control, and trace requirements to mentoring for technical solutions to select the solution set, design the product and implement that design through integration of the product, and its verification and validation, PYXIS Systems International, Inc. has provided the necessary expertise to make the system work.

PYXIS Systems International, Inc. has also consulted for two small companies, ITS Services, Inc. and Plexus Scientific Corporation, interested in process improvement and achieving a CMM^® level 2 for continued business with the IRS.  PYXIS Systems International, Inc. first performed internal evaluations of the capabilities of these companies and based on the results, consulted with the organizations to define the process areas where they lacked capability.  An Action Plan was generated that defined the critical process areas needed work and PYXIS Systems International, Inc. helped them deal with an understanding of the depth of their problems in the identified process areas.  PYXIS Systems International, Inc. taught a half-day overview course to their staff to set the stage for a more complete understanding of how to put the proper practices into effect to achieve their process improvement goals.
