Business Editors/High-Tech Writers

HUNTSVILLE, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 4, 2003

Intergraph Solutions Group (NASDAQ:INGR) announced today that their Air Force business unit has achieved Level 3 on Carnegie Mellon's Capability Maturity Model(R) (SW-CMM(R)) for Software. Organized into five maturity levels - Initial, Repeatable, Defined, Managed and Optimizing - SW-CMM is the de facto standard for judging the maturity of an organization's software processes and identifying the key practices required to increase the maturity of these processes. Level 3, or the Defined level, signifies that Intergraph has consistent, standard software processes for all management and engineering activities. Intergraph's predictability, effectiveness and control of software processes will improve as they move up these five levels.

The Software Engineering Institute (SEI), a federally-funded research and development center under contract to Carnegie Mellon University, developed the SW-CMM process in 1986, to help improve the application of an organization's supporting software technologies over time. Its core purpose is to promote the evolution of software engineering from an ad hoc, labor-intensive activity to a well-managed discipline.

Intergraph began the SW-CMM software improvement process in December 2000. It officially achieved Level 3 in October 2003, after completing the necessary key process areas. In addition to this achievement, Intergraph also has an authorized SW-CMM lead assessor permanently on staff. This enables Intergraph to have a direct knowledge connection to Carnegie Mellon University, allows it to conduct both internal and external assessments, and empowers it to bid on major Department of Defense (DOD) weapon systems programs. Intergraph's next step will be to start the Capability Maturity Model(R) Integration (CMMI) process, which will eventually replace the SW-CMM model. The future of process improvement, CMMI builds on and extends the best practices of SW-CMM and other process improvement models. Intergraph can promptly move from a maturity level of the SW-CMM to the corresponding maturity level of CMMI.

"Intergraph achieved the SW-CMM Level 3 in less time than most corporations," said Arthur Lacy, director of the quality and test division of Intergraph Solutions Group. "The culture changes resulting from this process have been outstanding and the standardized processes keep our software projects relevant, within budget and on schedule."
