Processis

What Processis does

Processis is a private Hong Kong-headquartered consulting and training firm specializing in CMMI process improvement, project management, agile development, and software engineering process optimization. Founded in 2002, the company targets mid-to-large listed IT enterprises plus regulated verticals including power/energy, telecom, banking and finance, healthcare, and government, primarily across East China, Beijing-Shanghai-Guangzhou-Shenzhen, Hong Kong, and Chengdu. Its service portfolio spans CMMI training and appraisal (Levels 2 through 5), PMP/ACP project management training, Six Sigma, software engineering, and metrics and analysis courses, supplemented by hands-on coaching and on-site consulting engagements.

The firm is the exclusive global partner of ISPI (International Process Institute), co-founded by CMMI originators Tim Kasse and Jeff Perdue, and is a Registered Education Partner (REP) of the US Project Management Institute. Its proprietary tool stack includes the CCI (Code Chaos Index) static code analyzer for maintainability assessment, Simplified Function Point (SiFP) estimation templates, and a Wiki collaboration platform for knowledge sharing. The signature methodology, Quantitative Agile Development (QAD), integrates agile sprint practices with function point analysis and statistical process control to help organizations meet CMMI high-maturity requirements, exemplified by a 2020 CMMI V2.0 Level 5 engagement for an 8,000-person software company.

Revenue is generated through three streams: training services (regularly scheduled PMP, SQA, CMMI, agile, and Six Sigma courses delivered across Chinese cities), consulting and assessment services (multi-year enterprise contracts on a quote-based model), and tool licensing for the proprietary CCI scanner, function point templates, and wiki platform. The go-to-market is sales-led via senior consultants conducting on-site training, coaching, and CMMI appraisals. Processis has completed over 100 CMMI projects and trained more than 150 companies since 2008. No external funding, M&A activity, or institutional investor participation is disclosed.

Core offering

Processis delivers CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Integration) consulting, training and formal assessment services (levels 2 through 5, including high-maturity appraisals) for software organizations, alongside PMP, ACP agile, Six Sigma, software engineering, and metrics/analysis training courses. Its engagements combine hands-on coaching with proprietary tooling — the CCI Code Chaos Index, Simplified Function Point (SiFP) templates, and a Wiki collaboration platform — wrapped in a Quantitative Agile Development (QAD) methodology that helps clients transition from person-dependent to data-driven software management.

Product overview

Processis offers consulting and training services primarily focused on CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Integration) process improvement and agile development methodologies. The core services include CMMI training and assessment (covering levels 2-5), agile development training (ACP), project management training (PMP), software engineering training, and metrics and analysis training. The company provides supplementary tools including function point calculation templates, the CCI (Code Chaos Index) code scanning tool, and a Wiki collaboration platform. The Quantitative Agile Development (QAD) methodology integrates agile practices with function point analysis to help organizations achieve measurable process improvement outcomes.

Broad incumbents

• Accenture: Accenture delivers large-scale IT and management consulting including PMO, agile transformation, and process improvement work that often bundles CMMI-adjacent services. It competes for the same mid-to-large enterprise transformation budgets as Processis, though at much greater scale.
• CMMI Institute: CMMI Institute (an ISACA acquisition) owns the CMMI framework and authorizes appraisal partners globally. As the ecosystem anchor, it operates one level above Processis but defines the market in which Processis competes.
• IBM Global Services: IBM's consulting arm offers PMO, software engineering, and process improvement services to large enterprises and government clients. It overlaps with Processis on CMMI/process improvement and PMP training-adjacent offerings for enterprise IT organizations.

Emerging players

• Global Knowledge: Global Knowledge is a corporate IT and project management training provider delivering PMP, agile, and software engineering courses. It is comparable to Processis on the training-revenue side, especially PMP and agile certification prep, though it is global and less specialized in CMMI.
• Cprime: Cprime is an agile and DevOps transformation consultancy offering training, coaching, and process improvement services. It is comparable to Processis on agile transformation and process improvement content but lacks the formal CMMI high-maturity specialization.

Direct peers

• TeraQuant: TeraQuant specializes in CMMI high-maturity appraisals and quantitative performance improvement for software organizations. Its focus on statistical process control and function-point-based measurement mirrors Processis's QAD and SiFP offerings.
• Broadsword Solutions: Broadsword is a US-headquartered CMMI, agile, and process improvement consultancy that performs appraisals and high-maturity assessments for software and systems organizations. It directly overlaps Processis in CMMI appraisal, agile transformation, and PMO/process improvement services.
• Process Improvement International: Process Improvement International is a niche CMMI/process improvement consultancy that conducts appraisals and training for software organizations. It targets the same high-maturity process improvement niche as Processis, primarily outside Asia.
• ISPI (International Process Institute): ISPI is Processis's exclusive global partner for CMMI training and assessment and a long-standing CMMI Institute global partner. It delivers the same CMMI/process improvement methodology to software organizations, making it the closest comparable on content even though it operates as Processis's upstream partner rather than a competitor.

Regional players

• Beijing Beyondsoft Consulting: Beyondsoft is a China-headquartered IT services and consulting firm that delivers software process improvement, CMMI consulting, and PMO services to local enterprises. It competes with Processis for Chinese enterprise process improvement mandates in the same verticals.
