Company Joins Elite Group of 20 Organizations Nationwide in
Achieving Recognized Quality Standard for Enhanced Efficiency and
Cost Effectiveness ARLINGTON, Va., March 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/
-- CACI International Inc (NYSE:CAI) announced today that it has
joined an elite group of companies worldwide that are certified by
the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) as
adhering to the broad range of best practices known as ISO 20000.
Currently, fewer than 20 companies in the U.S., and 100 companies
internationally, have achieved this significant milestone in
efficiency and cost effectiveness of their information technology
services. CACI is among the first U.S. systems integrators serving
the federal government to achieve this status. The ISO 20000
standard offers customers clear criteria to assess service levels,
measure performance, and implement continuous improvement. ISO
20000 certification means that the organization has developed and
implemented repeatable, high-quality processes on a contract that
can be projected across the business operating group. Customers are
assured of a partnership in which their needs can be fulfilled
rapidly and in full accord with expectations. CACI's certification
was gained through an independent, third-party audit conducted by
the Bureau Veritas Quality International, an independent registrar.
ISO 20000 provides CACI with another tool in the company's ongoing
enhancement of its managed network services and help desk practices
and methodologies for greater client capabilities. This
internationally recognized quality standard ensures that these
services are delivered on time and within budget, providing CACI
customers with proven processes that deliver cost- effective,
predictable outcomes. CACI also plans to apply ISO 20000 standards
across the company in all its core offerings, whenever appropriate.
CACI President of U.S. Operations Paul Cofoni said, "Our customers
face the twin challenges of constrained budgets and increasing
demand for IT to support and improve mission performance. With ISO
20000 certification, we have -- in place -- a set of certified,
proven processes that help clients meet these challenges
effectively in this new era of performance-based contracting."
According to Dr. J.P. (Jack) London, CACI Chairman, President, and
CEO, "Our ISO 20000 certification enables CACI to pursue and win
more Tier 1 opportunities. And the best practices established by
this important official recognition provide a solid framework for
CACI to continue providing our clients with increased capabilities
to better support our nation's vital national missions." CACI
