AQIWO and the Pursuit of Practical Excellence

Enhanced by experience gained in each of our practice areas, AQIWO provides clients with strong, durable solutions that sensitively address current requirements and are flexible enough to accommodate future needs.  Stability, security, ease-of-use, and ease-of-maintenance are demonstrated cornerstones of AQIWO client solutions.  We of AQIWO drive excellence in client deliveries through the use of structured processes, methods, and formal frameworks such as those expressed through Carnegie-Mellon’s SEI CMMI, OGC’s ITIL Service Management framework, and the Project Management Institute’s PMP certification program.  Impressive gains in service delivery, operating efficiency, and organizational productivity have earned these practical disciplines broad global acceptance and endorsement.


SEI CMMI

(Software Engineering Institute Capabilities Model Maturity Integration)
Within AQIWO's Information Technology Solutions Practice, we hire and train exceptional professionals who share our commitment to using the full array of CMMI high-maturity disciplines to link management and engineering activities to client business objectives. With a clear charter and transparent product lifecycle and engineering activities, all client stakeholders can be continuously informed and confident that their needs are being directly met. As AQIWO matriculates through the CMMI appraisal process, we are helping clients to lower risk, measure performance, and have better means by which to manage resources.

ITIL

(Information Technology Infrastructure Library)
In recognition of client value directly derived from the use of the ITIL IT Service Management (ITSM) framework, AQIWO both recruits and develops ITIL Foundation-, Intermediate-, Expert-, and Master-level practitioners. In providing solutions through the rigor of ITIL, Aqiwo ensures that large and small organizations alike will develop "best practice" frameworks for their managed IT service environments. Worldwide, ITIL is the most widely used best practice for IT Service Management. The best-practice service management processes advanced through ITIL also support the ITSM provisions of ISO/IEC 20000.

PMI PMP

(Project Management Institute Project Management Professional)
Consistent with our holistic, structured approach in addressing the totality of client needs, we of AQIWO respect and encourage the precepts of the PMI and we are continuously seeking to attract or cultivate certified PMPs. Clients benefit from the skills of certified PMPs in many ways: AQIWO's PMPs are well versed in project management terminology and processes, but also demonstrate ample competence to perform in their roles. The guidance of our PMP ensures that a client's whole project team will know and take the right steps for initiating, executing, and closing projects on-time and within budget - and therefore guiding the probability of success on the client's terms. AQIWO's PMPs are intuitive communicators, strong human resource managers, and creative collaborators. A matter of great importance to all parties concerns ethics; each certified AQIWO PMP must observe the PMI Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct to ensure that every project team operates with integrity. It 's also reassuring to know that every Aqiwo PMP must have knowledge of the most up-to-date global practices. PMI credential holders are required to participate in the Continued Certification Requirements (CCR) program to maintain an active certification status.
