Abridge Technology

SCAMPI Appraisal Services

Abridge Technology is authorized by the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) to provide official SCAMPI appraisal services (class A, B, and C). At your discretion, the results of these appraisals will be posted to the SEI/CMU website and will be made available, for example, to government acquisition and procurement officials.

In addition to appraisal services (and related consulting), Abridge Technology has a wealth of training classes available to you to help you continue your organizational journey to internationally recognized world-class performance.
