CMMI is a process improvement approach that provides organizations with the essential elements of effective processes that ultimately improve their performance. Maturity Level 5 is the highest rating given to an organization. Companies that garner this rating continually improve business processes based on a quantitative understanding of business objectives and performance needs. A Level 5 rating is a rare distinction; fewer than 100 companies worldwide, across all industries, achieved this rating in 2014. NetCracker is the only provider of end-to-end BSS/OSS solutions in the world to have achieved this rating.
NetCracker’s Solution Delivery organization has been rated at CMMI Level 5 since 2011; the latest rating results from the re-appraisal process required every three years. NetCracker’s achievement is based on its ability to repeat success at a Level 5 rating consistently across its programs and worldwide customer base. This derives from its methodology for measuring and taking action on statistical data relating to key solution development and delivery metrics. This methodology allows NetCracker to predict, manage and mitigate risk for its customers; to deliver projects and programs on-time and within budget consistently; and to provide the highest quality technology solutions.
“This CMMI Level 5 appraisal is a reflection of the commitment that we make to our customers in delivering best-in-class services to help them transform their businesses,” said Michael Feinberg, CTO at NetCracker. “We are excited to showcase this appraisal, which underscores our commitment to continuously improve our service delivery methodology and enable success for our customers.”
CMMI is the result of more than 20 years of ongoing work at Carnegie Mellon University by members of industry, government and the Software Engineering Institute. Powered by Carnegie Mellon, the CMMI Institute is working to build upon CMMI’s success, advance the state of the practice, accelerate the development and adoption of best practices and provide solutions to the emerging needs of businesses around the world.

Mike Feinberg is a co-founder of the KIPP (Knowledge Is Power Program) Foundation.
The Founding of KIPP and KIPP Houston[edit]
Feinberg graduated from the University of Pennsylvania and later joined Teach For America (TFA), where he taught fifth grade for three years.
While serving in TFA, Feinberg and his fellow corps member Dave Levin came up with the idea for KIPP during a late-night brainstorming session in 1993.[1] KIPP was founded in 1994, and KIPP Houston was established a year later.
The KIPP Foundation[edit]
In 2000, Mike Feinberg, Dave Levin, and Doris and Don Fisher co-founded the KIPP Foundation to help train school leaders to expand KIPP by opening more KIPP schools.
As of February 2018, KIPP is a network of 209 high-performing public schools around the nation serving more than 90,000 students.
Awards and Recognition[edit]
Mike Feinberg and Dave Levin earned many awards, such as the 2006 S. Roger Horchow Award (Jefferson Award) for Greatest Public Service by a Private Citizen, an Honorary Degree from Yale University, the Thomas Fordham Foundation Price for Valor, the Charles Bronfman Prize, and the Presidential Citizen’s medal.
Feinberg and Levin’s efforts became the story told by Jay Mathews, in his best-selling book, Work Hard. Be Nice: How Two Inspired Teachers Created America’s Most Promising Schools. KIPP has also inspired Paul Tough to write How Children Succeed: Grit, Curiosity, and the Hidden Power of Character.
Misconduct and Resignation[edit]
In February 2018, Feinberg was removed from his position at KIPP due to sexual misconduct allegations involving a KIPP middle school student in the late 1990s and two KIPP employees in the early 2000s.[2] Feinberg denied the accusation by the middle school student, and reached a financial settlement with one of the two KIPP employees.
