<p>ESPI Foundation promotes good software and systems
engineering practice in Europe through the adoption of
process improvement and the CMMI. We provide information to assist those
starting out on the software process improvement journey, and
facilitate exchange of knowledge and experience between
practicing organisations.</p>
<p>In the role of mediator between practicing organisations and service
suppliers we work with the Software Engineering Institute, Carnegie Mellon University, to stage the annual European
SEPG<sup><span style="font-variant: small-caps">TM</span></sup>
conference, and promote training provided by third parties
to support process improvement and CMMI activities.</p>
<p>ESPI Foundation does not provide Introduction to CMMI training or process improvement consultancy itself, which enables it to work non-competitively with process implementors and supporting organisations alike.</p>
<p><b>The European SEPG<sup>™</sup> conference</b> is a firm fixture in the diaries of
software and systems professionals who are striving to improve
their organisation's development capability in a process
improvement environment. Highly regarded for the quality and
relevance of the event's programme, the European SEPG presents
new developments, current thinking and experience on making
process improvement succeed in delivering measurable benefits. </p>
<p>The conference programme focuses on practical implementation issues and
engages those at every level: Process Improvement 'Gurus', CMMI
Assessors and Trainers, Senior IT Managers, Engineering Process
Groups, Quality Professionals, Measurement Specialists and
Project Managers. This unique gathering provides an opportunity
for information sharing through presentations, tutorials,
workshops, panels, an exhibition showcase and informal meetings.</p>
